14-year-old boy impersonates Chicago cop
January 26, 2009 12:37 AM
Chicago police arrested a 14-year-old boy for impersonating one of their own on Saturday.
The boy, who has been charged as a juvenile with impersonating an officer, walked into the Grand Crossing (3rd) District station, 7040 S. Cottage Grove Ave., dressed in a Chicago police uniform, police spokeswoman Monique Bond said. The boy, who reported for duty about 1:30 p.m., partnered with another police officer for about five hours.
The boy identified himself as an officer from another district but was detailed for the day to Grand Crossing and also was savvy enough to sign out a police radio and a ticket book, according to a source. The source also said the boy went on traffic stops with the officer he went on the street with.
Bond said the boy "did not write tickets" and said there was "no information to indicate that he [was] ever behind the wheel."
At an afternoon news conference police said the boy had no interaction with the public.
After his tour was over, a ranking officer became suspicious of the boy. The source said the officer discovered the teen was not a real police officer when he couldn't produce any credentials.
The source said the boy had an empty holster and a newspaper in place of a ballistic vest in his vest carrier.
Police described the boy as a former "police explorer," which means he was part of a community program run through the police department's Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) that allows youth to interact with Chicago police officers. He was part of the explorer program in 2008 in the Englewood (7th) District.
"The boy was not armed and the matter is under investigation with Internal Affairs," Bond said.
Bond also said that how the boy acquired the police uniform was under investigation. Police officers need to present identification while acquiring their uniforms.
"This individual [the boy] has identified an egregious breach in security," Deputy Supt. of Patrol Dan Dugan said at an afternoon news conference.
The boy, whom authorities did not identify because he's a juvenile, is scheduled to appear in Juvenile Court at 10 a.m. Monday.
Rev. Roosevelt Watkins of Bethlehem Star Baptist Church in the Chatham neighborhood will hold a new conference 11 a.m. Monday at the church in defense of the boy, who attended the church, according to a news release.
The boy had participated in the HOPE Organization youth outreach program, according to the news release.

Im Only 15 And I Social Engineered a Rogers Canada Employee To Unplug The Main Power Control Panel.
I Instantly Lost My Cellphone Connection And Internet.
The Employee Got Fired, I Happened To Know Her Daughter. He Was Harassing My Female Best Friend.
The Daughter Changed Schools Later That Month. Apparently "Mommy" Was Already About To Be Evicted.
Revenge Is Sweet, I Recorded The Phone Call. I Cannot Share Because I Reinstalled Windows XP, Lost All My Files.
Anyways I Had Good Fun With The Call.
