SUBJECT: Suspicious Caller 

Date: December 23, 2004

On December 23^rd at 7:30pm the Post Falls Police Department received a harassing phone call complaint from a 15-year-old female victim.  The victim stated that she received a phone call from an unknown male claiming to be a police officer.  

The suspect caller stated that there was a 911 call in the area and that a male was trying to look in the victim’s window.  The suspect stated that there were police officers in the area for surveillance and verified the victim’s address with her.  The suspect than requested the victim assistance in apprehending the suspect. The caller began to ask questions about the victim’s height, weight and clothing she was wearing.  

The suspect than requested the victim remove her clothing and move toward the window.

The Post Falls Police Department would like to advise citizens that if they receive a similar call to get the “officer’s” name and agency he is with and verify his authenticity by contacting their local police department.  Although it is not uncommon for an officer or representative of a police department to contact a citizen by phone, it is uncommon to ask the caller to participate in an investigation that would put the caller in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation.
