DORAVILLE, Ga. — A credit collector has been charged with impersonating a Fulton County police officer. Real officers arrested 39-year-old Joseph Jackson at his workplace in Doraville. Police said Jackson was wearing an officer’s uniform, complete with a fake badge, patches and a firearm.
Jackson works as a trainer at National Recovery Center, a debt collection agency. The CEO of the company told Channel 2 he was shocked by Jackson’s arrest.

Police said they are investigating to see if Jackson used the uniform to act out in a law enforcement manner.
“They received a tip Joseph Jackson was impersonating a police officer at that location,” said Lt. Reese Williams with the Doraville Police Department.
Jackson isn’t a real police officer, but investigators said he dressed the part very convincingly. When police caught up with him outside his workplace, he was wearing a full uniform complete with Fulton County patches on it and a gun belt, handcuffs and one of two handguns that police seized.

“When he was confronted about working for the Fulton County Police Department, he did produce a Fulton County police ID, which was fake because the Fulton County police officer we had with us there said it was fake,” said Williams.
Jackson also had a badge with the initials NCR, or National Recovery Center Unit, said police. But the CEO of the company said Jackson had no law enforcement role at National Recovery Center.
“He finally admitted he did not work for the Fulton County Police Department and that’s when he was arrested,” said Williams.
Police said they asked Jackson why he was dressed as a cop. “He said to us, he’s always wanted to be a police officer,” said Williams.
Doraville police said Jackson had the proper permits to carry weapons.
He faces felony charges for impersonating a police officer and fraudulent identification.
