KINGSTON – The Police Chiefs Association of Ulster County does not endorse or conduct telephone fund raising efforts, officials said.
The notice comes as area residents have reported receiving phone calls from people claiming to represent the police chiefs’ group, soliciting for their annual fund drive.
Police advise that if anyone receives a call that sounds suspicious, resist the pressure to act quickly, verify the information before sending any money to anyone or organization, never wire money based on a request made over the phone or in an email, especially to an overseas location, and when I doubt, call your local police department.
