Creepy Police Officer??? - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

At around 1 pm our door bell rung, my mom answered it (I was at work when this all happened), a man who appeared at the door was asking for my sister and see if he can talk to her.... my mom asked who he was, he said he was a "civilian officer"? He showed his 'badge'.. and immediately my mom assumed he was police officer, when my mom went on what's wrong, he said he couldn't say, as it was personal and it was just between my sister and him. My mom then told the 'officer' that she was not home at the moment, and was at driving school. Also according to my mom, this 'officer' was not in uniform and his car wasn't in any police markings or paintings. He then said he were to be back at 6 pm and left.

Later on when my sister came home (around 5:40 pm?), my mom told who had came to the door and said if anything was wrong? My sister was confused of why this police officer wanted to talk to her... (the officer did not show up at 6 pm). So my sister called the non-emergency police phone line, whether if she could contact this officer, however, she did not know the name of the officer nor the officer gave my mom any contact information. The operator then told her to lock the doors and contact them immediately if he were to come to our house again... and they did not recall any 'civilian officer' coming to our house in their records.

Okay when my mom and sister told me all this, I was immediately creeped out by this.... I'm not familar of what a 'civilian officer' is, but sounds like this officer is some sick freak wanting to get after my sister. Any thoughts of this guy is legit or not???

Clearly...............it is the CIA.

Seriously though, if the guy comes to the door, tell him that there is a shotgun in the house if he comes back and then phone the real police.

They may not show up for awhile however.......

If your sister is not a legal adult yet, then there is NOTHING that he couldn't have (or wouldn't have) discussed with your mother if he was legit.

Not a legitimate officer.

There needs to be more than a flashing of the badge, unless it's a emergency response. Usually the best thing is to copy down the badge number, and the fact that the cop didn't leave any contact info, should raise a tonne of suspicion that the guy is impersonating an officer.

Yeah, she's 20.

ResAlien · 07-18-2009, 09:23 PM

That sounds about 10 kinds of wrong. Keep a bat around, beat him mercilessly if he returns.

OK, that does mean that he could be secretive... but still, it does sound fishy. I certainly wouldn't let him in or let her go anywhere with him until he can verify his identity.

a few weeks ago i heard a knock on my condo door. look out the pep-hole and i see this guy in a brown trenchcoat holding a badge out. looked fake to me so i didn't open the door, sounds like this may be a more common issue than i thought

The most creepy part... is the fact that he knows my sister's name...

Also, my mom descirbed him as old and to be around his 50's... so I guess he wouldn't be that harmlful??

I'm more disturbed that the guy is 50 and knows your sisters name. It's easy enough to find out peoples names, usually just by over hearing it. Tell them to stay on their toes. Also, if he does come back (I'm sure he won't) tell him to wait outside while you call the police and confirm who he is. A real police officer would gladly let you do this.

Doesn't sound right to me. I hope for your families sake he never returns. Just on the safe side, tell your sister to watch her back, or always be around other people/friends when out. Maybe this guy really is twisted and follows her.

Are you Sarah Connor?

CaptainCrunch · 07-18-2009, 11:53 PM

Always record the badge number, and if he's there alone tell him that you want the contact number of his superior to verify him because you don't open the door for strangers. Also, I thought that plain clothes cops had to carry not only a badge buy a photo id. You have a right to ask for his police id.

if the person that they're looking for is a minor your mom has a right to ask what the cops interest is. Then tell him that she's not home and you'd be more then willing to drive her over to his office when she gets home, then request his contact information including direct line and which office he works out of.

If it was my sister, I would have contacted her where ever she is to tell her to get into a public area because your coming down to pick her up. If this guy was some creep and knew that she wasn't home, he might have gone looking for her.

monkeyman · 07-18-2009, 11:59 PM

That is creepy. Try to get his license number if he comes back, this guy needs to have the real cops talking to him.

bluejays · 07-19-2009, 12:15 AM

Honestly, I'm very protective of my younger sis, so this kinda thing goes straight to my heart. Honestly dude, I wouldn't even bother asking anyone in the household speak with him. If he comes to the door, right away your mother or someone else should call the cops and plainly state a person is FAKING being a cop at the door. Then try to engage in buying time through asking him questions with the door closed. I'm sure within 2 mins the real cops would come. If he bolts, run out and get his licence plate number. I would definitely have a bat ready. He tries anything, bash the guys brains out. Is your sister a waitress or something? Really odd to say the least. I'd definitely let the cops know about it so they at least have a log.

DOK · 07-19-2009, 12:18 AM

Ugh, this is buggin' me! The term "civilian officer" doesn't make sense. Civilian is really the opposite to the term officer. As in military and civilians. You know what I'm saying, I'm just not spitting it out right. Anyways, the term he used is bugging me, and I'm thinking he didn't intend to say he was a police officer if he used that term. So, what did he intend? Maybe that he WAS an officer once? Or maybe he's just a creep who thought it would be an impressive title to tell your mom, who knows.

civilian n. A person following the pursuits of civil life, especially one who is not an active member of the military, the police....

Well, I believe in the states they do have civilian officers/firemen who are basically standby's who aren't paid unless their services are used under rare circumstances no? Plus, why would he not say what it's about? He's a fraud, no point in debating it. If it were an officer, guaranteed if he said he'd be coming back, he would come back, because it clearly was important enough to come in the first place. The guy should be locked up.

bluejays · 07-19-2009, 12:31 AM

I'd just like to add something else. The great thing about guys like this are (and I'm no psychologist), that I'm sure he's infatuated with your sister in some way and he's not going to break that anytime soon. There's a very good chance I'd think, that he'd come back, either to your door or around your neighborhood. That alone allows for a better chance of being caught. Watch your surroundings at all times, and let your neighbors know of what's happened and ask them to call the cops if they see the guy. Good luck!
