We have been notified that unidentified persons are calling citizens in the community asking for donations to a “Drug Awareness” program.
The reports say that the person sounds very authentic and that you can hear what sounds like a police radio in the background.
When asked for a call back phone number, the person hangs up.
We are not soliciting donations from anyone for a Drug Awareness program or any other program.
When asked for a donation to any group, always ask for an address and a phone number of the organization, ask if the person is a hired solicitor and what percent of the donation goes to the program and to the soliciting company, ask for time to think about your answer, and never be afraid to say no.
If you think that you have been misled by a solicitor or you feel that you have received undue pressure from a solicitor, please contact us at the police department.
Thanks,
