I live in Southern California. Years ago in the mid to late1990s my then husband somehow was contacted by the local police department. I don't know if by mail or phone call. He was asked to donate some money via this organization that contacted him. He probably gave $20.00. He was then contacted each year to donate, which he did and it was always about $20.00. He was always excited to do this as our city has a great police department. We had some police situations over the years and they were very helpful to us, catching the bad guys and throwing them in jail and we wanted to support them. A few years later we divorced. I recall getting mail and calls from the same organization. I didn't donate as was a bit poor and it was his thing anyway. They stopped calling.
Now, after watching this documentary, I wonder if it was a scam. I will never know.
