+Deepdiggingmole Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi - I recently heard this - "Groundspeak give a free premium membership to police officers who will create an institutional cache and keep a watchful eye over caches in their area." Is this true ? what is an institutional cache ? thanks Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 That's a new one. Department representatives can receive a free PM through Groundspeak's Parks and Police program. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Seems you have been misinformed. As already posted all they get is a complimentary PM and a thank you. Quote Link to comment
+Deepdiggingmole Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Ah OK - read that - seems only something done in the US too Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Ah OK - read that - seems only something done in the US too I don't understand that statement. There's no geographical limitation to the complimentary PM for police and land managers. It seems like there is something not being said in this thread. I'm not sure where you got the information that prompted the OP. The "institutional" cache is something I've never heard of. Perhaps whoever told you this would like to explain where they got their information from. B. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I agree that there seems to be more to the story. I've found a cache that was placed and owned by city police officers. It was located next to the police station, and they kept it stocked with baseball-card-style cards showing various officers on the force, toy police badges, and other trade items related to law enforcement. But that was done because they wanted to do it. There was no requirement for them to do it in order to get their complementary premium membership. Quote Link to comment
+coman123 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think the Free PM is so if there is a call for a suspicious package or people, LEO's will have the option to check if there is a Geocache at that location. Quote Link to comment
