Scam call. Some alleged "national police" something or other. When I get these kind of calls (where I don't recognize the number), my objective is to keep these clowns on the line as long as possible. Sometimes I ask them to repeat the "organization"'s name, and then their name, and their employee number. If they ask why, I say I'm going to do an internet search of your organization to see if you're legit. If you're not, take me off your $%^&*( call list and add me to your &*((U((* do-not-call list. I also keep a police whistle right at the phone. When I hear anything other than an American-style accent, they get the whistle. Sometimes, I tell them to wait a moment, then I put the phone down and go back to doing whatever I was doing. They will eventually get the message.
If I were going to give money to a police charity, it's going to be my local police department, and they won't be using a telephone solicitor.
