I received a telephone call from a person conducting a survey for the Rolling Meadows Police Department. Is it legitimate?
It may be. Each year, a group of police volunteers calls many residents in an effort to conduct an opinion survey of police services. This information is used by the police administration in allocating staff, developing strategies, solving community problems, and creating programs. These volunteers will never ask for personal information and participating in the survey is completely optional.

Remember, never give out any personal information (Social Security Numbers, bank account numbers, passwords, credit card numbers, etc.) to any person who calls.
