We were in the tornado warning and I was home alone and they called, I answered thinking it was my dad, and they specifically asked for me right when I answered and then said this is Jason from the Omaha Police Department and I said what and he repeated and asked for me again and I heard lots of laughter in the back and 'Jason' hung up. Strange because I am under 18 and telemarketers obviously never ask for me.

Approximately 85% of your donation pays the telemarketing firm that is not connected to the police at all. Only 6% of your donation goes to charitable donations. Instead of sending your money to the telemarketers, cut out the middle man and send 6% of it directly to the FOP. So for a $20 donation, send a check for $1.20 instead. Are the stickers they send you really worth the extra $18.80?
