The Wichita Police Department wants you to be on alert about the latest phone scam. This time, they say it involves an officer who was hurt in the line of duty.

The department says scammers are calling and asking for donations for Officer Brian Arterburn. The officer was hit and by a stolen SUV on Feb. 7 and remains hospitalized.

The department says no one should be calling and asking for donations for the officer.

If someone calls you asking for a donation, the department says you should obtain as much information as possible including their name, the name of the organization they say they're calling from and a phone number. Then, contact your local police department.

Donations for Officer Arterburn should be made through Honore Adversis at
