We have been receiving a lot of calls this week about solicitors in our neighborhoods.   

Here are just a few quick answers to common questions: 

1. Is soliciting permitted in Lower Moreland Township?     YES

2. Is a permit required?     YES

3. What should I look for to see if a solicitor has a permit?   The solicitor will be given a badge from LMPD which is to be worn/visible at all times.  The permits are good for 30 days and the badge will have an expiration date.   They are also to carry some form of identification, such as a driver's license. 

4. What time are solicitors allowed to knock on my door?  Monday through Saturday during daylight hours.  No soliciting is allowed on Sundays or on any state or federal holidays.  

5. How can I prevent solicitors from coming to my home?    You have several options.  Visit NO SOLICITORS FOR ME for details. 

When in doubt about the validity of a solicitor knocking on your door, please call 911 immediately so that an officer can respond to investigate.
