Folcroft police alert public of scams to avoid when donating to wounded officer

The Folcroft Borough Police Department has become aware of scams that are deceiving people trying to donate money to officer Chris Dorman.

Dorman, who was shot seven times Friday during a drug investigation, was released from a Philadelphia hospital on Monday.

On the department's Facebook page, authorities warn anyone interested in making a donation to be careful. There are fraudulent websites, not affiliated with the department, soliciting money.

Folcroft police offered a reminder that donations can be submitted through the mail and the internet.
