SINGAPORE \u2013 A 41-year-old woman will be charged on March 20 over her suspected involvement in two cases of impersonating police officers, said the police on March 19. <\/p>\n
She will also be charged with using abusive words towards a public servant. <\/p>\n
The police said they were alerted on March 17 to an anonymous post in a Facebook group containing screenshots of a conversation featuring vulgarities between an unknown user and an individual who had allegedly impersonated a police officer. <\/p>\n
The identity of the woman who allegedly impersonated a police officer was uncovered through police investigations and she was arrested on March 19.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
If found guilty of impersonating a public servant, she can be jailed for up to two years, fined, or both.<\/p>\n
The offence of using abusive words on a public servant carries a maximum jail term of 12 months, a fine, or both.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
\u201cOffenders will be dealt with sternly in accordance with the law,\u201d said the police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
