RCMP from multiple detachments are currently looking for a black SUV as they investigate a report of someone impersonating a police officer.

At 12:45 p.m. on Monday afternoon, RCMP received a report of a black SUV with a black grille and blue lights in the dash which attempted to pull a vehicle over on Highway #303 near Marshall.

It was reported a male, possibly aged 30-40 years old and wearing a white button up shirt, got out of the SUV and approached the other vehicle. The individual asked the lone occupant of the vehicle to exit and produce identification. The driver drove off and the SUV turned off onto a grid road.

The RCMP say public safety is their priority. They remind Saskatchewan residents that the public can request identification from RCMP police officers. If you have concerns during a police vehicle stop, you may request to see an officer’s badge and ID card. Both the badge and ID card will show the same regimental number and the ID card will have a photo.

If you are not reassured, when it is safe to do so, call 310-RCMP or 911 to verify the identity of the officer or individual involved.
