Esta investigación se centra en los delitos de suplantación de identidad policial por confrontación, que incluyen agentes federales, personal oficial y estatal, y agentes del orden público locales o nacionales. La investigación existente que examina a los imitadores de policías sugiere que el alcance de este delito está más extendido de lo que comúnmente se cree y rara vez se investiga. Este estudio intenta ofrecer una perspectiva más amplia en comparación con investigaciones anteriores y examina diferentes tipos de actos fraudulentos de manera más global. Los datos de los incidentes de suplantación informados en los medios de comunicación internacionales se recopilaron mediante el sistema Google Alert. Los artículos de noticias de febrero de 2016 a mayo de 2020 se codificaron empleando un análisis de contenido. Los resultados indican que los delitos de suplantación de identidad policial varían en tipo y motivo. La discusión ofrece sugerencias para futuras investigaciones, políticas y regulaciones.
