I don't really care about the intent at this point because he DID use the stolen identity to get himself a position as an officer. I also don't find this shocking, (I actually LOL'ed when I saw the headline) but after reading the details I found his deceit troubling and mildly disturbing. I caught the fact that he had lied about his age. I'm not familiar with Anchorage PD requirements but the "industry standard" for new recruits is for them to be under 41 years of age (some will waive this if you have prior military or LE experience). This guy was really 45 when he was hired. I can only imagine the additional lies this guy put down in his application package regarding education, experience, etc. I mean, if you're going to steal someone's identity in order to fraudulently obtain a passport than printing out a fake diploma shouldn't be beneath you.
What really bothers me is that this could happen. If this guy could do it, who's to say that a real "bad guy" couldn't pull off the same thing?
