Consumer Beware!! The WPD Criminal Investigations Division received a report from a concerned citizen about a Residential Alarm Company selling security systems within the City of Winslow. Although we have not encountered these people, we are told they go by the name “Monotronics”. We are also told this same company was here three months ago and went by the name “Secure Links”. None of this has been verified by the Winslow Police Department but please be aware that any company or person who sells goods is required to obtain a peddlers permit. A check with the permit office shows this company is not in compliance with the posted ordinance below. 5.12.140 Peddling on Posted Premises or Refusal to Leave Premises upon Request Prohibited It is unlawful for any peddler, solicitor, canvasser or transient merchant, their agents or representatives to come upon any premises whereon a sign bearing the words no peddlers or no canvassers or no solicitors or any combination of such terms or terms similar thereto is exposed to public view, or to remain on any premises after having been requested to leave by the owner or occupant thereof, whether such premises is posted as above or not. (Ord. 1224 (part), 2014: Ord. 741 § 2 (part), 1997: prior code § 16-31) Please use caution when dealing with door to door sales people. If you ask these people to leave your property, they must comply. If you have any questions, feel free to call the Winslow Police Department.
