*Door-to-Door Solicitation Safety Tips*

Illegal or unauthorized door-to-door solicitation presents a possible
unsafe situation in the residential setting, and the Albuquerque Police
Department offers suggestions below about safely handling
unwanted/unauthorized solicitors:

·       If someone knocks on your door, if possible ALWAYS check the area
through a window, eye-viewer or camera system prior to opening the door,
even if you are expecting a visitor. If someone unfamiliar is outside your
door, you should be VERY cautious about opening the door.

·       If you have a security screen door and it is bolted and locked and
you feel comfortable opening the inner door, do so but do not engage with
the individual. Instead, politely ask them to leave.

·       If you do not have a security screen door, ask the visitor to leave
the premises and notify them that you do not want them there through your
closed and locked front door. Never allow the visitor access to your house
for any reason. Once you have asked the visitor to leave your property, you
should observe them leaving and be prepared to report suspicious activity
to the police.

·       Don’t let a knock on the door go unanswered, whether through your
security screen door, main door, or camera system, however.  Criminals
posing as a legitimate solicitor are looking for an empty house to
eventually commit residential burglary, and if they break into an expected
empty residence and find an occupant, the probability of a violent
encounter is high.

·       If someone knocks on your door late at night asking for help, DO
NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Instead, call 911 immediately.

·       If you have experienced an illegal solicitor or suspicious person
knocking on doors in your neighborhood, alert your neighbors in the
immediate area.

·       Remember that all legitimate businesses in the City of Albuquerque
must have a permit to operate, and this includes the door-to-door solicitor
per City Ordinance 13-3-1-1: “*The Ordinance requires the individual to
have on their person a permit that can be produced on request, which
includes photo identification.  Any solicitor that claims not to have one
or has left it in another location should be considered illegitimate. If
you desire the right of privacy, posting a No Trespassing or No Soliciting
sign on your premises must be observed by the solicitor. Solicitation is
permitted only between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and sunset.”*

more about door to door solicitation safety.
