City of Fond du Lac Police say pet urine reimbursement is fake news

A social media post making the rounds that appears to originate from the Fond du Lac Police Department, has in fact NOT come from the department according to a press release issued Monday, July 8, 2024.

In the fake release, it says the department will reimburse up to $500 to city residence whose pets urinated on carpet as a result of fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend. Fond du Lac Police say their is no such program taking part in this.

The fake release appears to be more of a hoax rather than a scam because no one is potentially being defrauded, and the actual address of the police station is shown as the place to make your claim.
