Impersonating police

We've got ex-military wackos impersonating cops: Bay Area military veteran arrested for posing as cop, bounty hunter: Sheriff

Gregg Jackson, 40, from Santa Rosa, California, was arrested earlier this week for impersonating a law enforcement officer, specifically "using a vehicle outfitted with red and blue emergency lights and was identifying himself as a bounty hunter," the sheriff's office announced on Tuesday.

Police officers impersonating cops: Former Rohnert Park Police Officer Joseph Huffaker Found Guilty Of Conspiracy To Commit Extortion, Impersonating ATF Agent, And Other Charges Related To Marijuana Seizure Scheme (one of his co-conspirators, Brendan “Jacy” Tatum, pled guilty back in 2021, the defense was that the whole damned department was corrupt and they got thrown under the bus, which... I could believe.)

The Sonoma Sheriff's Instagram account

We’ve received reports of scammers impersonating Sheriff’s Office sergeants, claiming you missed a court date or jury duty that you were notified of via certified mail — and demanding payment or personal info to clear it up.

These calls are not real.

No one from our office will call to ask for money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency over the phone.

Hard to tell who's law enforcement and who isn't, any more...

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
