Chief: Cops for Kids solicitations are bogus

NORTH JACKSON

Jackson Township Police want residents to know they’re not seeking donations for the “Cops for Kids” program.

“Cops for Kids” is a program to help children and seniors in need of basic necessities, according to www.copsforkidsinc.org.

Chief Ken Frost said he

received phone calls recently from three residents who said someone had phoned them soliciting donations for the program through the police department. The chief said township police are not involved with any fundraising organizations.

“I don’t know who is responsible for these bogus phone calls,” Frost said. Residents who receive these types of calls should immediately contact the police department at 330-538-3093.
