BWE and McKnight are considered professional fund raisers
under the Massachusetts Charitable Solicitation Act.
Collection and Accounting for Funds
When a business agreed to make a "payment" to petitioner,
the telephone solicitor made a notation on an envelope itemizing
the business, its address, the person he spoke with, and the
amount of the payment. The envelope was delivered by a delivery
service, such as United Parcel Service (UPS), to the business,
which delivered a check to the UPS messenger, who returned it to
the solicitation office.
Checks received by the solicitation office were made payable
to petitioner and were deposited in a bank account owned by
petitioner. When checks came into The Constabulary office, they
were counted and deposited in petitioner’s bank account by the
office manager and a trooper. BWE and McKnight or its
subcontractor, Mr. Norman Berube, accounted for all receipts
directly to petitioner.
Amounts collected were distributed at the weekly meetings
according to the Agreements between petitioner and BWE or
McKnight and the weekly settlement reports.
Publication of The Constabulary
Pursuant to the Agreements, BWE and McKnight published The
Constabulary once in each year in issue. The Constabulary was
published in five editions: Troop A, Troop A Greater Boston,
Troop B, Troop C, and Troop D.
