They are probably asking for donations.
Most charities that use the word "police" or "sherrif" in the name are fake. They talk to some badly-trained clerk in a small-town police department office, give $100 to that police deparment, and use their name to collect thousands of dollars. Typically these charities keep more than 95% of every donation to cover found raising expenses. They are charities, so the Do Not Call List law does not apply to them.
Ignore the call. Hang up on them. Never give them any money. If you donate to them they'll call for more and more and more. It will take years to get rid of them. My spouse made that mistake once. Never again.
