Bogus solicitations under investigation
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department is investigating possible illegal solicitations in Saratoga from a group claiming to be a "Junior Police Academy Program."
So far, only one call has been reported. In that call, the person told sheriff officials that the caller asked for a $1,000 donation to place police officers in elementary and middle schools for additional security.
Sheriff officials say they know of no such organization, and say they are investigating the legitimacy of the program.
Officials at the Sheriff's Westside Substation in Saratoga would like to hear about any other solicitations. Call 867-9715.
