A local individual has a history of criminal acts for which justice has not been served. Typically the individual gains access to a business or residence without breaking and entering and picks something up on the way out.

In none of the instances have charges been filed. The person has now been employed as a police officer. Part of his resume includes being a military police officer. The person has not worn a uniform or claimed to have been awarded ribbons.

Has the person violated federal law by claiming military service?

USC 18 § 912. Officer or employee of the United States

Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Possibly state fraud laws for lying on a resume submitted to a government agency.

[Wings-n-Wind]

Instead of looking for some infraction of federal law -- perhaps consider--

Going directly to the application for his LEO employer. Somewhere in the fine print above the signature "penalty for perjury" for lying on the app.

Much more viable charge -- if any fabrications on his resume are provable.

JMHO...

Age of person? Go to the town he lives in and see if they have a DD-214 on file from him. This is a record of military service used to verify eligibility for property tax credit. it is a public document.

Depending on his age, if he served during a war, Vietnam as an example his enlistment / draft record my be able to be located.

Search his name for resumes.
