A professional fundraising group from Minnesota has agreed to stop making calls to Iowa numbers.

A news release from the office of Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller says an agreement has been reached with Public Safety Council, LLP, and Community Safety, LLC, which are based in Minneapolis. Their subcontractor, Safety Services, LLC, also has agreed to what Miller calls an assurance of voluntary compliance.

Miller says the groups have been making calls on behalf of at least three Iowa law enforcement associations and that several solicitors were "unfair and deceptive" on some calls.

In December, the fundraisers signed an Iowa agreement to change their practices. Miller's office says subsequent solicitations didn't comply with the agreement or Iowa law.

The fundraisers denied any wrongdoing or liability.
