Police Director Alphonse Petracco and Chief Thomas Strumolo are advising residents of phone solicitors misleading them that they are Nutley Police.
WARNING
Police Chief Strumolo reports that residents have been contacting us inquiring if Nutley is Soliciting for donations - WE ARE NOT
A return call to number identified was National Police Association soliciting for money- This organization is NOT Affiliated with our department.
“Can police count on your support” sets a luring tactic that telemarketers use to have you donate to them. It misleads you into believing it is your local agency. Police warn, anyone that asks you to donate money should raise concern. These organizations operate under the law because a small percentage of the donation goes to the cause.
Please be cautious if you decide to donate.
