“If you are not sure, don’t open the door,” said Higgins, adding that the citizens are at the side of their door and speak through the door with the officials while calling 911 or the local police department to confirm that an official was sent to his house.
Higgins said to know what police uniforms look like and if they live in a city with a smaller police, it helps to be familiar with their members.
“If you don’t see an official in uniform, not someone you recognize,” said Higgins, “it is advisable to call the police and ask if this person is a police officer.”

In these situations, Higgins said it was important to know what law enforcement vehicles look like and added that sometimes real law enforcement cars cannot be marked.
The police in Minnesota praised that the suspect’s suspect was thwarted
Higgins said that officials usually call traffic violations against shipping, so that the drivers can continue to call 911 or the local police to check whether an official who fulfills his tasks has initiated the stop.
Higgins advised the citizens to always be aware of their surroundings and, if possible, to drive in public places.
If Higgins did not immediately run over in a public place, he said that the drivers can lower their window just enough, keep their car on the way and ask the officials whether it is possible to drive to another place that is safer or more public.
Higgins said that police officers understand that the citizens are uncertain or nervous and ask for review.
“If your answer is something other than professional, it should be taken care of,” said Higgins. This means that if the citizen obviously did nothing illegal like a red light, he added as a restriction.
