CSPD stopped solicitors in the area this afternoon for soliciting without a permit.
The permitting process is designed to vet companies and staff for any record of criminal activity and/or unsavory business practices.
All solicitors working in Castle Shannon must apply for a permit, be subjected to a background investigation, and receive approval.
They also must carry the permit with a picture of their likeness prominently displayed at all times.
If a solicitor comes to your door, be sure they are permitted properly.
If you do not want to entertain solicitors, or canvassers, you are entitled to post a sign to that effect: NO SOLICITORS, NO CANVASSERS, NO TRESPASSING.
Violators will be prosecuted.
