The mission of the Consumer Protection Unit is to provide a resource for the citizens of the City of Norfolk to help defend against fraud and scams. Investigation and assistance with such matters is on behalf of citizens as a group. Individual representation is neither intended nor provided and there is no attorney-client relationship with regard to any matter that we investigate or provide resources to assist any complainant or group of complainants. The Norfolk Sheriffs Office does not provide primary law enforcement services unless specifically authorized and agencies, including the Norfolk Police Department and other local, state, and federal agencies will be provided information for possible action. The Norfolk Sheriff’s Office will work in cooperation with these agencies.
