Corsicana Police issue release on security solicitors
Approximately 20 young men representing APX Alarm, Security Solutions out of Provo, Utah, have requested permits to solicit in the city limits of Corsicana, according to a release from the Corsicana Police Department. They began their door to door soliciting on Saturday. They are selling security products.
The Corsicana Police Department does not endorse this company nor have they supplied APX with the city’s crime stats to assist them in determining what neighborhoods to target for their sales.
If one of these solicitors comes to your residence, you should ask to see their permit. If they do not have a permit with Chief Randy Bratton’s signature, then they are violating the city ordinance and you should notify the police. Criminal histories are checked on all applicants and only those with no criminal history are issued a permit.
Solicitors are allowed to go door to door during the hours of 9 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. They are not allowed to solicit on Sunday. If you do not want a person to solicit at your home, you should post a weatherproof card, not less than three inches by four inches in size, upon or near the entrance to your residence, with the wording “NO SOLICITORS.” If a solicitor comes to your residence, after you post this notice, then you should contact the police.
APX solicitors are expected to be in town for six days. If any citizens have a complaint regarding these solicitors, they should contact the police non-emergency number at (903) 654-4902.
