PATCH REPORT: Police Continuing to Diligently Enforce Door-to-Door Solicitor Laws; Wednesday Incident the Latest

WAUKESHA -- Authorities in Waukesha are continuing to diligently enforce local regulations on door-to-door salesmen operating without permits in the area.

The continued enforcement comes after several incidents this spring and summer in the Waukesha area have put residents into contact with potentially suspicious and aggressive solicitors.

On Wednesday, a younger male was reported walking around the apartment complex on the 3400 block of Red Maple Way, soliciting for "the association."

The person was described as a black male, mid 20's to 30 years old, wearing tan pants and a long sleeve blue shirt.

Police arrived on-scene just after 7 p.m. and reportedly made contact with the man, learning that he was trying to sell books and magazines for a company called 5 Star Certified Management based out of Florida.

According to the report, police learned the company does have a website verifying they sell magazines and books. The man told police he was not aware of the city ordinance requiring a solictor permit.

Police reportedly spoke with his manager by phone and the manager told police he was not aware either. Both the man and his supervisor were advised on the ordinance and advised that they are no longer allowed to try and sell any material unitl they acquire a permit.

The door-to-door salesman was moved along.
