The municipality is organizing this information session together with the police. Interest in the presentation on April 2 at Trefkoele+ has exceeded expectations. So many residents have registered that the event is now fully booked. Registration for April 2 is therefore no longer possible.

That is why we are planning additional sessions.” The municipality kindly requests residents to wait with registering until March 31. Around that date, we expect to be able to provide more clarity about new options.

Increase in fraud targeting the elderly
The municipality of Dalfsen is concerned about an increase in scams, fake police officers, and other forms of fraud in the municipality. Older residents in particular are frequently becoming victims. That is why all residents aged 70 and over will receive a personal letter from Mayor Michael Sijbom this or next week with tips on how to recognize the signs and an invitation to attend an information session by the police.
Residents aged 70+ who have not yet received the letter can expect it this or next week.
