that indicates that the Santa Clara Peace Officers Association hires professional fundraisers to do their work. That explains why the people calling are usually very aggressive and rude. They people manning the phones are working on commission.
Selling tickets to an event for charity for a police officers fund. I've given to them before, but won't do it again as I found out that more than 75% of the money goes to the fund raising organization, and only a small amount goes to the charity. It's NOT tax deductable either.
I've been getting calls from this number several times a week for the past two weeks. I let the answering machine take the call and they always hang up before the outgoing message completes. Thanks to this website now I know who is calling.
It's pretty nervy to be asking for donations to a police or firefighter's fund when those people make top salaries, lots of overtime, and are bankrupting several cities in California with their sweet pension plans.
