Police Telephone Solicitation Calls Someone just called my house wanting me to donate money to help the police department. If youve received a phone call from someone claiming to represent the police department and asking for a donation or contribution, you have been lied to. Under no circumstances does the Baton Rouge Police Department ever solicit money from citizens. The caller is either (a) a scam artist, or more likely (b) working on behalf of a private organization or association whose primary membership includes law enforcement officers. Many of these associations do provide benefits to their dues-paying members, but many also contract out with professional telephone solicitors who often keep 75-80%
