Woman who allegedly impersonated police officers, used abusive words on one to be charged

The suspect is believed to have been involved in a separate incident involving the impersonation of a police officer, and another case where abusive words were used against a police officer during a 999 emergency call on Sept 14, 2025.

If found guilty of impersonating a public servant, she can be jailed for up to two years, fined, or both.

The offence of using abusive words on a public servant carries a maximum jail term of 12 months, a fine, or both.

The police said they take a serious view of individuals who impersonate public servants, including police officers, as such acts undermine public trust and may cause confusion or alarm.

Any form of harassment or abusive behaviour towards officers performing their duties is a serious offence, they said, adding that circulating unverified information that is falsely claimed to be from the police on social media further worsens the crime.

“Offenders will be dealt with sternly in accordance with the law,” said the police.
