Police Imposters

In the news this morning, an article in People magazine talks about criminals who pose as police and stop cars or gain access to homes. Here is an exerpt from a tip from Road and Travel Magazine.

Keep the doors locked and open the window only enough to communicate, but not enough so they can reach inside. Request the officer's photo identification and be sure to examine it carefully.

I would add, that now that we have cell phones, call 911 and confirm the officer's identification before allowing anyone to enter your home.
