7196235387

They keep calling our number.  They claim they have us to be removed from their list.  But they keep calling anyway.  They are some fund raising group.  I just want them to stop calling our number

I get a call twice a day from this number.  Been happening for 2 or 3 weeks

we continue to get calls from this Co springs number for no reason

Its a solicitation from tele-marketers hired by the C.S.P.D. or the E.P.S.D. to solicit donations.
I spent 26+ years in law enforcement and my own police association did it and I complained to the board and was told, "yeah we know, but it helps us raise funds."  They still do it.  

If you want to make a genuine donation, maqke it to the National Law Enforcement Memorial In D.C. they are legit and do a very good job.

The real kicker was when I found out Quest will not allow you to block their number.

This number 719-623-5387 is a fundraising organization. You only get a recording or unending ringing. Don't know why it hangs up...glitch in system but is a call center situation so has automatic dialing. Usually firemen or something similar.

They are extremely rude!

First, he said that they were calling me back, on behalf of Colorado Police Protective Association. I told him that I did not call them. Then he said that I made a pledge for a donation a few month ago. I vaguely remember I received one call from them, to whom I said that "I would consider a donation only if I determine you are a worthy charity that benefits my local police men and women."  But they are not worthy as the first thing that showed up in the google search is http://www.ripoffreport.com/nonprofit-organizations/colorado-police-prot/colorado-police-protective-ass-8b6yw.htm.

Then he insisted that I owed them the donation. I asked him if they are now a collection agency. He said "basically, yes!" At this point, I felt that I no longer want to continue this conversation.

The purpose of this organization is "PROVIDE LEGAL ASSISTANCE AND SCHOLARSHIPS TO MEMBERS OF THE POLICE PROTECTIVE INDUSTRY" per tax report. So they lied about providing death benefits to police who died on the line of duty.

The ratios suck. They had total revenues of $322K. They paid $53K for member benefits, and $92K for officers. Their second largest revenue as well as the largest expense is "Legal Defense Plan."  If I understand correctly, they collect premiums for this plan from their members as legal cost insurance.  I would not go as far as saying that this is to protect the bad cops. But I do believe that it is used far more on questionable cops than good cops.

I can't tell from the tax report where the fund raising cost is. It must be rolled into some big number.
