Best Answer

A real police officer would tell you how to confirm their identity.

Ask for their number - or note it from their warrant card / badge - and using your telephone directory ring the local station. They will be only too happy to confirm that the person is real, if they are.

You could ask the person. If you do not want to do that and need to know for business purposes, like possibly hiring the person, you could have a background check run on the person.
