Residents of Skin ker DeBaliviere are frequently accosted by children and adults trying to raise money at neighborhood intersections. Forest Park and Skinker and Delmar and Skinker see these panhandlers regularly.
It is illegal to solicit funds without a permit and it is always illegal—permit or no permit—for people to go out into lanes of traffic to sell or beg. Captain Hagar of the 7th District, St. Louis Metropolitan Police, has declared zero tolerance for these solicitations that place solicitor and driver alike at risk.
If you see this activity taking place, please call 911, or the watch commander at 444-0032, or Captain Hagar, 444-0027.
