I don't know the name of the organization you talked to. I know there was a
group calling around a couple of years ago purporting to be raising money
for police needs that was a shady charity (putting the best light on it).
Sometimes they used frightening tactics or implied that people would not get
police protection if they didn't donate. Sometimes they just gave sob
stories. I even got called by them.
I pulled the names of the police-related charities listed with the Attorney
General's Office. If you have questions, there is information about each on
the Attorney General's website.
