This is not the actual police. It is a legal scam. Is is a PRIVATE, FOR PROFIT fundraising company that has paid the police to use their name. Approx 2% or less of funds go to help anyone.
This is not the civil servants it is a scam. The State Police get nothing and have nothing to do with this organization. They were shut down years ago and are starting up again. In the South there are organizations like this but NOT HERE!
Yep...it is that time of year again... when the FOP, "Fraternal Order of Police" as they call themselves on the phone, call for "donations".
Sadly, only a minute portion of any donation actual goes to the FOP. The folks that are calling, usually from a call center not unlike a telemarketer center, are NOT even remotely affiliated with any Police institution, nor were they ever. In fact, these are typically guys that merely work a call center phone soliciting innocent, unsuspecting folks for their money.
Again, very little of the proceeds raised actually end up in the coffers of the FOP. I like having fun with them myself, and repeatedly ask each and every time they call, the percentage of money, or percentage of my money that I would supposedly contribute, actually goes to the FOP.
They hem and haw, clammer and studder, and eventually when you break them down enough it comes out....between 8% -18% donated goes to the FOP. The rest goes to the "expenses" related to the call center.
Needless to say, a far cry from what you are donating.
Please don't misread this, the FOP is legit and they do MANY wonderful things for organizations all around, however, the organization that they have hired are reaping a far larger profit than the FOP itself.
got the call also, give me a break , you bunch of lying thiefs you have such nerve to ask for money , no one in their right mind would give you the right time of day let alone even talk to you
get lost , get your money from the feds , they have plenty of it and stop wasting your time on hard working taxpayers, you will never receive 1 penney from any of us
