Officials Issue Alert for Glen Cove Residents

The following was issued by Mayor Reginald Spinello

I have issued an alert to all Glen Cove Residents with regard to solicitors going door-to-door asking for donations on behalf of APPCO GROUP US/Childfund International. This organization does not have the required permits and authorizations from the Glen Cove Police Department to solicit in our neighborhoods. Further, their “certificate” of not-for-profit status is expired and/or does not state the required information that would properly identify this group as a not-for-profit.

My office and the police department received numerous complaints from residents regarding solicitors constantly ringing door bells at all hours of the night and, when there’s no answer, the loud banging of the doors of the home.

I ask all of you that if, at any time, you experience a situation as described, Do Not Open the Door. Immediately call the City of Glen Cove Police Department at 676-1000.
