When I said I didn't know the guy he wanted my name and number so he could have record he talked to me. I gave it to him without thinking, and now I'm worried... Wonder if he was legit or not... Do they do that when you go to be a police officer? **sorry didn't see the wrong spelling Edited By: IAlwyzGotMusic 05/05/2008 8:43 PM. Edited 1 time.

Do they do that when you go to be a police officer? This sounds strange--when my husband was applying for a chef job--he had to go through a bureau and it took a week. I think this is a scam--call your local police department and ask them if this is protocol??

I live in a condo complex so it could've been several people... I'm a moron. Should've asked to see his badge or something

They will understand and answer truthfully.

I would call the police department. I have a few good friends that are police officers and I have gotten calls from departments as part of their background checks but never had anyone come to my door as part of the process. Sounds suspicious to me. Especially if he did not show ID (a badge) when he introduced himself to you.
