RCMP is not
raising funds

NORTH VANCOUVER RCMP department is continuing to
receive calls from the public inquiring about telephone solicitations
for Funds from a firm preparing a publication for the B.C. Crime
Prevention Association.

The police department says it supports the aims of the associa-
tion, but it does not support the association's current method of
soliciting funds.

Those being solicited are under the impression they are giving
their money to support police work. But the funds being solicited
relate to publications on behalf of the association only, and not the
police.

The RCMP does not solicit funds from the public. Concerns
regarding the fund-raising by the association may be forwarded to
the North Vancouver RCMP community policing section ut 985-
131.
