I've never heard of police asking for information in this way. They always give out official telephone numbers, etc.

Unless the identity of the OP can be verified, I'd be careful before contacting him/her. I wonder of the Captain at the 15th District knows of this and has approved of this?

Something very unusual here . . . I'll just make a quick call to Internal Affairs and see what they know about this.
