Residents of Reading: The Reading Police Department would like you to be careful when approached by vendors and door-to-door salespersons. Please check that they have the proper permt from the office of the Chief of Police, not just a business license from City Hall. We have been made aware that there are companies going door to door without a permit and being overly aggressive with residents.
|
Be Careful of the following:
|
1) Don't let them push you into letting them come into your home.
|
2) Make sure they have clear, legible, official company identification.
|
3) Make them produce the permit they obtained from the Police Department.
|
4) Do not be pressured into signing a contract until you have time to review all information and the validity of the company.
|
6) Consider just taking their information and tell them you will call them at another time.
|
7) Make them take "NO" for an answer if you do not want the goods or service being offered.
|
|
IF YOU FEEL UNSAFE OR ANY OF THE ABOVE IS HAPPENING, DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AT 610-655-6116.
