The Oakland Police Department is alerting residents of a scam in which a caller claims to represent the Oakland Police Officer's Association and asks for money to benefit the families of the four officers killed March 21.
Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason said Monday night there have been at least two reports of a caller attempting to solicit money to benefit families of the fallen officers.
"It's a scam," Thomason said, adding that the Oakland Police Department and Oakland Police Officer's Association do not make phone calls to solicit money.
Anyone who receives such a phone call is ask to call Oakland police at 510-777-3333.
