MANSON Senior citizens can be vulnerable targets for scammers.
This is why Manson Police Chief Gerald Frick hosts classes to educate seniors and other members of the public on how to spot common scams and frauds, and how to avoid falling victim.
The elderly fraud classes will be held at the Manson Police Department, 1015 13th St., at 4 p.m. on April 14 and at 5 p.m. on April 15.
“Seniors are trusting,” Frick said. “Most of the time they believe what they hear and they don’t think that people will call them up to intentionally defraud them.”
Frick has been hosting these elderly fraud classes ever since he started as police chief in Manson in 2017.

MANSON Sometimes Santa rides in a sleigh pulled by nine reindeer and sometimes he drives a police cruiser. It just depends on the day.
On the days Old St. Nick is driving a police cruiser, he might look a little bit like Manson Police Chief Gerry Frick.
Frick, along with the rest of the Manson Police Department and the Manson Lions Club, is hoping to play Santa a bit more this season with Operation Christmas a toy and food drive for children in need in the Manson community.
Operation Christmas is currently accepting food, toy and cash donations. This is the fourth year the Manson PD and Lions Club have teamed up for this program. Each year, the program serves about 60 kids.
