URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — The Urbana Police Department is offering guidance to help community members identify legitimate police officers.

This comes after two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes early Saturday. Democratic former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in their home, while Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife were injured just a few miles away.

“While there is no known threat in Urbana, we believe it’s important to know how to identify a legitimate Urbana Police officer,” the Urbana Police Department wrote in a post on Facebook.

The police department said their officers wear official uniforms with Urbana patches and badges. The officials shirts will also include a visible name tag. Even in the rain, officers will be clearly marked, the police department said.

All vehicles are also clearly marked, or can be verified through the dispatch center. Look for Urbana decals, and check out the license plate if you are unsure.

Caps may vary slightly, the police department said. Some police officers may wear uniform caps, others may wear a plain cap, and some may not wear a hat, the police department said.

If you are ever unsure whether someone is a legitimate police officer, you have the right to ask them for ID, or call 217-384-2320 to confirm.
