ok the rest of the conversation wasnt that long, the phone rang, it was UNKNOWN CALLER,(although blocked unknown callers already) I picked up the phone, and they asked for me and I asked them where is it from then they said something they're from "maternal or internal police" sounds something like that, and I pretended that I am not the one they are looking for and I said she's not here, and hang up the phone.But they call me like 6x a day and its scary for me.

It is probably the Fraternal order of police....It is a telemarketer.. They are not usually police although I would imagine some police persons could moonlight at this job... My nephew is a Police Officer and he gets the calls also.. They want to raise money for bullet proof vest and other safety equipment for different police departments. I usually tell them I donate at the local level. Just say I am not interested or No and hang up.. If they threaten you in any form even as to hint the police will not come if you need help or anything like that, you need to report it to you telephone company and your local police...
Relax it is not good for the baby for you to be stressed!! Good Luck

The internal order of police is a non-profit group out to get donations. Because they are non-profit they do not have to follow the national do-not-call list. It is nothing to worry about and I would block them as they tend to call every 30 to 60 days even if you ask them not to.

It may be the FRATERNAL ORDER of POLICE which is a charitable organization that supports the police force. They want you to make a donation.

Get caller ID and do not answer for anyone you don't recognize. Call the phone co. and tell them.
