TELEPHONE SOLICITATIONS

Please be aware that the Town of Sykesville and the Sykesville Police Department does not, and has not, solicited for donations or contributions via the telephone or door to door.

Should you receive a similar request, please ask for the individual's name and telephone number and contact the Sykesville Police Department by calling (410) 795-0757.
