The St. Thomas Police Service and Member of Parliament Andrew Lawton are hosting a free fraud prevention session for older adults on March 18, 2026, in St. Thomas, Ontario. The event is designed to help local seniors protect themselves from common scams during Fraud Prevention Month.

The meeting will take place from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Anderson Hall inside the CASO Station. Constable Tammy Voth, the police community mobilization officer, will lead the talk alongside Lawton, who represents the riding of Elgin-St. Thomas-London South.

Participants will learn how to identify common scam tactics and warning signs used by criminals. The session will focus on practical steps seniors can take to secure their personal information and finances against digital and telephone fraud.

The event is free and open to all members of the public. This session is part of a collaborative effort to provide residents with direct access to safety information from local law enforcement and their elected representative.
