Charity questioned but possibly legitimate police charity
Hal Bailey founder of the South Carolina Police Officers Association says the charity is legitimate and helps families of injured or fallen officers. Local police warned residents of possible scam calls earlier this month while state officials note the charity is registered but under investigation and may misallocate donations. The group, an offshoot of a Georgia-based organization Bailey ran, promises at least 300 dollars to injured officers and 500 dollars to families of those killed in duty.
