Police-Fundraiser
Not Just For Police
The Police-Fundraiser is not just for Police Departments and Police Fraternal Organizations. Police-Fundraisers are responsible for many community programs that most people think are paid for by tax dollars, but are actually paid for by Police-Fundraising efforts. Child safety, school safety, community assistance, crime stoppers, injured officers, and community scholarship programs, just to mention a few, are funded by Police-Fundraising programs.
The problem has been that raising the large amounts of money for the various programs have come under fire for not being done quite as they should be.
Telemarketers and professional fundraising companies that raise money for busy police departments usually take between 75% to 95% of the money for their services. Even the local police have little, if any, control over these so called services since they may not even be in the state they are raising money in. So you send in a lot of money and if you're lucky, you get a decal with the name of your local police department to put on your car window and the local police department gets a few pennies on the dollar. The only time you know the local Police-Fundraiser is for real is when you see the barbeque grill smoking in front of the police department.
Police departments are there to serve the community, safeguard lives, protect property, prevent violence and disorder and to protect the community against deception are just a few things police are responsible for. Police-Fundraising should be simple, honest and easy while serving the local community. Police barbeques and fundraising dinners raise little money and do not bring in the massive funds needed for all the police programs. So what can you do?
How about a Police-Fundraising-Mall? A Police-Fundraising-Mall where the police department's name and address are right there in the upper right corner? A Police-Fundraising-Mall that will give the community millions of books, music, movies and thousands of other things to chose from, with free shipping that will yield a 50% profit to the department and money to put back into the community from this Police-Fundraiser. Yes, you can still have the police barbeques and dinners too and let the public know about the Police-Fundraising-Mall at the same time. Now that's protection with a real service for the whole community.
