But what the cities don't realize is that the solicitation license is only as good as the day they approved it! YEP.. that's the problem. They need to be screening their Sales Reps EACH AND EVERY MONTH to insure that the home owner is fully aware of the person knocking on their door. Read on........
Police issue reminder on door-to-door sales
CEDAR RAPIDS - Police on Wednesday issued a reminder to ask questions of door-to-door sellers after receiving several calls from concerned residents.Sgt. Cristy Hamblin said each business representative that will be in the city limits is required by city ordinance to become licensed. A criminal background check is done before the application is approved by the mayor, city clerk and police.Everyone going door-to-door is required to carry the issued permit, which contains a city of Cedar Rapids embossed seal.Recent callers have mentioned door-to-door sales of house siding, home alarms and fundraising for mission work and a child abuse hotline.Hamblin said residents should ask questions about the name of the business and where it is located. Only write checks to businesses, not individuals. To verify there is a permit for a specific business, call the Cedar Rapids city clerk at (319) 286-5060. To report a possible scam, call police at (319) 286-5491
If that same sales rep was background screened with Protection Plus Solutions, all they'd have to do is show the home owner their ID badge with their picture, and ask them to go online and verify their ID badge by typing in their unique ID badge number to verify. No computer, no worries, then have them call our toll free 800 number to verify.
