According to Sam Reed, Secretary of State for Washington, FOP did NOTHING last year for anybody but themselves, as ALL the money they collected went for expenses.
This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the Washington State Fraternal Order of Police. I have called the number. It directs you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP. Also, there’s information on www.wafop.com. Plus, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for Washington police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.
This is a commercial company. They are a paid telemarketer. This is a commercial for profit company. Their own information states that they keep 85% of all money raised. Allegedly they do fund raising for the WA FOP, Washington Fraternal Order Of Police, so by their own tele-recording on their phone system. Strange that a group that is suppose to be "Law Enforcement" related, is breaking the law. Here is how: They call multiple times per day, one day 16 times. They call before 8 am and after 8 pm. A few days they called at 6 am, A couple days they called at 9:45 pm. They call a cell phone. They contact a number thats a federal government number, which is said cell phone. These actions violate the Do Not Call Act, the Tele-Consumer Protect Act, and The Electronic Communications Act. They also have several times, when the call was picked up, did not answer. A couple of times when the voice mail picked up, left messages that where several minutes long, of dead silence, before cutting off. I can not imagine a "Law Enforcement" group breaking the law. If these law violations are representative of "Law Enforcement", I just can not support "Law Enforcement". After all, the very first people who should be obeying, following and upholding the law, are the very people who enforce the law, not just my opinion, it's also part of a US Supreme Court ruling.
