My apologies. Change "law enforcement officer" to add "or military servicemember" for the "officer" title bit only.
Military police are a thing, and ordinary servicemembers should not impersonate them either. Ordinary servicemembers, TTBOMK, are not uniformed like police (including MPs) and do not have metal badges.
