These calls appear to be part of a police survey, often conducted without prior consent or explanation, leading to frustration and suspicion among recipients. The callers often fail to provide necessary context, such as the nature of the incident being surveyed, and sometimes callers hang up after a brief exchange. Recipients are advised to verify the caller's identity and purpose, and to only engage if the call is from a trusted source. If unsure, it's best to report the call to the police directly, as some may be scams or part of a broader survey. Those who have had positive experiences suggest checking the caller's legitimacy and cooperating, while others recommend blocking unknown numbers to avoid harassment.
