Claimed to be from the Police Dept.
Tried his best to sound like a Dennis Farina type of "real" TV detective.
Did some name dropping of real officers.
Cracked a few jokes "You don't know Sargent  X? Then you've been staying out of trouble. ha, ha"
Said he wanted money to help the officers help the community.
Told me someone would STOP BY to collect it and also give me support  stickers for the car and home "as long as you don't do any drag racing, ha, ha"
Told him sorry, no. He's voice got stronger "you can at least lend support with $40."
I said no again and he moved on.

Don't ever say yes. If you want to give. Go to their office or at lease call the department to come by. Never trust a call you don't start.
