This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition Make it an offence to impersonate any of our emergency services.
At present, in the U.K it is only an offence to impersonate a Police Officer and not any of our other emergency services.
With this loop hole, we have members of the public masquerading as Paramedics, Fire Officers and more. This leaves Police officers powerless to act.
