Jerry, as you may have forgotten, my 17 year old scanner has no trunking or talk groups. How I heard is by, as I always do, sitting in my chair listening to my scanner almost 24/7 
Not much else for me to do
I reported it as I caught it.

Bite? You don't have to bite
Was in the bank with the 24 denver police frequencies. As I have no talkgroups, they just rotate. Wish I could be more specific, but as this is all the equipment I have or will most likely ever have, this is the best I can do.
Just trying to alert those of you with the newer equipment what might be going on as it happens. Don't want to clutter the forum, but I thought it is the only way I can actually try to participate....

Didn't take any offense Can't even see anything there to offend anybody, Bill
As to the meet, gee, I'd love to! Unfortunately, mobility is not my strong suit these days.
It would be nice to meet people and to have real PIZZA!!! Haven't had any since NYC a decade ago or so. These days food for me is pretty much ramen noodles and a salad as my food budget is 2-3 bucks a day Trust me, permenent disability checks are not big, hahahaha
But, since my eyes are pretty much shot for driving, that would mean trying the buses. And ignoring the fact that buses don't run much on Sundays, well, a bus trip from me to Parker would probably take daysssssssssss
So, once again, I shall have to live vicariously though y'all. Make sure you describe each and every detail, Bill
I'm counting on you!

My pleasure, Jerry. Gives me something to do and hopefully by contributing and participating in this way, might be helpful a bit.
As for my situation, nothing to worry about. Gotta do my best to live it out until I get to bug out
My cat is depending on me!

Cop impersonator pulls over driver
By Karen Augé
Denver Post Staff Writer
Commerce City police are looking for a tattooed man - dressed in a white T-shirt, dark coveralls with the sleeves cut off and wearing a black baseball cap - who claimed to be a police officer as he pulled over a car and tried to force the driver from the vehicle Saturday night.
The intended victim told police that he pulled over near Brighton Boulevard and York Street around 7 p.m. after a dark, older-model coupe flashed its lights at him several times.
The victim said a man approached his car and said he was a police officer.
When the driver questioned the suspect, the suspect asked the man to get out of his car.
The driver refused and drove off. The suspect did not follow.
The driver described the suspect as 6 feet tall, in his late 20s or early 30s, with a dark goatee, muscular build and tattoo-covered arms, according to Commerce City police.
Commerce City police Sgt. Joe Sandoval said the victim didn't know if the impersonator was armed.
Sandoval said officers aren't sure if this suspect is connected to several other cases of police impersonation that have occurred recently in the metro area.
"We just don't have enough information to tie him to any other incidents," Sandoval said.
Police advise anyone who isn't sure of a police officer's identity to ask to see a badge and identification card. Anyone pulled over by an unmarked police car should turn into a well-lit, populated area, or call 911 to confirm that it is a police car.
