Tips for Handling Door-to-door Solicitors

This is a reminder from Terrie Johnston, our Crime Prevention Coordinator.

Terrie recently received an e-mail from a North End resident who had an unknown man knock on her door at 11:30 p.m. claiming to need money to pay a locksmith.  Other neighborhood blogs have reported on what they call the  “Locksmith Scammer”. This is the season for door-to-door solicitors, so know your rights!

Please read this sheet on handling both legitmate and illegitimate solicitations. 

As always, please don’t hesitate to call 9-1-1 for anything suspicious.
