Soliciting complaints
Readington Township Police has recently received numerous complaints pertaining to illegal solicitation. The most recent complaints have been from residents who have been approached by person(s) selling pest control services. Although this particular company was legitimate, many companies that do not have permits can be misleading and/or fraudulent. Companies that go through the proper channels to receive solicitation credentials have extensive background checks done on the company and its employees prior to the issuance of the permit.
When solicitors approach your residence they should have proper identification worn around their neck and should be visible. If the solicitor does not have proper identification you should call the Readington Township Police at 9-1-1 in an emergency situation and non-emergent situations (908)534-4031.
