Woman was pulled over by police officer, not impersonator: B.C. RCMP
“The officer was in a fully marked police car, in a full-duty RCMP uniform. He exercised discretion by giving the driver a warning, instead of issuing a violation ticket as per the Motor Vehicle Act.”Alleged police impersonator caught by off-duty cop: West Kelowna RCMP
Police said they acknowledge the public’s right to question anyone who they suspect to be impersonating a member of law enforcement. “We treat these allegations very seriously,” said the RCMP, “and, as such, should be investigated with the goal of determining the facts and not left unchecked or made on social media.”Edmonton man charged with impersonating a police officer – Jun 18, 2021
Police say anyone who encounters a similar situation is encouraged to report it to their local police department so an investigation may be conducted. “Should you be concerned at the time of a traffic stop, stay inside your vehicle with the doors locked, roll down the window a small amount and tell the officer you are calling the police department to ensure that they are, in fact, a police officer,” said the RCMP.“Call the non-emergency number for police in that jurisdiction, who can confirm the officer’s presence at the traffic stop.”
