The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office is on the lookout for a man allegedly posing as a law enforcement officer and making traffic stops.

A woman called 911 after she said she was pulled over in a Feb. 24 traffic stop conducted south of the Port Orchard city limits. The behavior of the man was described as suspicious, and a KCSO investigation determined that no state or local agency had made the stop.

“The suspect was driving a dark 4-door Dodge Charger with a spotlight on the driver’s side and the word ‘Washington’ on the side of the car,” a Feb. 26 KCSO release said. “The vehicle had red and blue emergency lights installed in the front grill, but no lights on its roof.”

Police are warning residents to take caution when being stopped by someone who appears to be law enforcement. “Do not stop in a dark or secluded area, but proceed to the safest closest location to stop.”

Anyone with tips is asked to call 911 or email KCSOTips@kitsap.gov or eyoung@kitsap.gov.
