Identity Parade

In their late teens both of my sons were on the police ID parade list. They were paid every time they were called and that was quite often. Sometimes they would have their appearance changed slightly, spray on designer stubble, spectacles, hats etc.

And yes I will be paid.

Yes I can totally understand the concern though I am going to my local police station and is definetly all above board, I was only asking a general question as I find it all a bit daunting I mean

A lot of police stations use VIPER ( virtual identity parades) but some still do things the old fashioned way,you will be paid, did they not tell you that?
I said be careful, because they should not have said that you looked like a suspect who had committed a serious crime/incident, they should have just asked if you would be willing to take part. Yes, do check with whichever police station you were asked to go to before you go.We all want to help the police,but we also need to be careful.

Thanks for the concern, though I seen the identification earlier on. I am guessing it is just process of elimination.

It sounds a very odd time to hold an identity parade

However, you could get paid! ask for expenses at least.

Double check please, did you give them your address ? if they are not police officers they may be waiting for you to leave the house so they can break in. Please please phone first

Thanks cornergran though definetly is above board.

Phone the police non emergency number (101 I think) and check it out. Could be above board but perhaps not.

Tonight at 10:30pm I have to go.

Me too merlot - I thought the OP was going to say she'd taken part and it was all over...sounds a bit odd!

When is this parade going to take place?

I thought they picked people really close to it taking part.

No I certainly would not, and this sounds nothing at all like something the police would do! Be careful.

No experience but how exciting, nothing to worry about I'm sure just enjoy the experience.
