The police department at Appalachian State University received a report about a dude impersonating a police officer. Advice for the public has changed with technology. Before, people could just ask to see a badge, but badges are for sale all over the internet. Now that most people have phones, the thing to do is call 911 to ask the dispatching officer if the dude is a poser or not. As always, persons followed by blue lights at night are advised to drive slowly to the nearest police station or at least a well-lit, public area before stopping. You can ask the dispatcher to tell the officer what you’re doing.
