Possible person impersonating an officer

ELLIJAY, Ga. – The Gilmer County Sheriff’s Office has reported an incident in which a female was stopped by an unmarked vehicle over the weekend. However, the Sheriff’s office has no record of the stop.

Though they report the female involved was not harmed and they are investigating the situation, the Sheriff’s office offered a few tips on their social media for citizens of the county to avoid risky situations. In their release, they noted these tips for use when being pulled over by an unmarked vehicle.

“If at any time you are being stopped by an unmarked vehicle, turn on your hazard lights and proceed to an area that is well lit, preferably a gas station or business with a camera. If you are in a remote area, turn on your hazard lights and call 911 to verify it is an officer making a legitimate stop.

If you are pulled over and think the person is impersonating an officer: ask for their identification or badge, ask the officer to have another person dispatched to the scene or if you’re still uneasy, just call 911.

If anyone has any information regarding the unmarked car over the weekend, please contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 706-635-4646 or the non-emergency number to Dispatch at 706-635-8911.”
