Tips for making sure you are dealing with a legitimate Police Officer:
“¢ The majority of Calgary Police Service traffic stops are conducted in marked vehicles or in unmarked vehicles driven by police officers dressed in full uniform.
“¢ Marked CPS vehicles are always equipped with red and blue lights on top, which are always activated during traffic stops.
“¢ An undercover officer wearing plain clothes may conduct a traffic stop in an unmarked vehicle, using a red/blue -coloured strobe light. The lights in these vehicles can be located inside the grill or in the vehicle’s interior.
“¢ If a driver is not sure about a vehicle that is pulling them over, they should call 911.
“¢ Police officers are required to carry identification at all times and drivers have the right to ask them to see that identification.
“¢ A driver should never exit his/her vehicle during a traffic stop, unless they are asked to do so by a police officer.
“¢ When conducting traffic stops members of the Calgary Police Service usually approach the vehicle they have pulled over in a reasonably prompt fashion. They always identify themselves as members of the Service.
