Many people call the Midland Police Service asking us if we are affiliated to organizations such as the Police Retirees of Ontario who have contacted them during their fundraising campaigns.

The Midland Police Service is NOT associated with any fundraising group.

This is a common online fraud technique called "phishing" where very authentic-looking e-mails are sent out that link back to a "spoofed" or replica website that looks and acts like the original, legitimate site.

The intention is to lure you into revealing personal identification or information that the fraudster can use to assume your identity.
