Momence, IL – Police are reminding residents to be cautious of door-to-door solicitors after receiving several local reports this week.
According to the Momence Police Department, all solicitors operating within city limits must have a valid permit. Officers emphasized that speaking with or purchasing from solicitors is completely voluntary — residents are not required to engage.
Authorities noted that some individuals may be attempting to sell products or services without proper authorization. If anyone encounters a solicitor who cannot present a valid city permit, police ask residents to report the activity immediately to KanComm at (815) 933-3311 for assistance.
The department encouraged residents to stay alert and follow their instincts if something feels off. “If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and give us a call,” police said in their community update.
The reminder aims to protect residents from potential scams and ensure that all commercial activity in the area complies with city regulations.
