Police: DCF Impersonator Visits Family, Attempts to take Child

Orlando police are searching for a man impersonating a child protective service investigator with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and tried to take custody of a child.

Investigators say, the man went to the Summerfield Apartments in the 4500 block of south Kirkman Road on Tuesday around 1:30 p.m. The man told the resident that he is a DCF employee and had come to take custody of their 1-year-old granddaughter.

The man is described as a white male, in his mid-to-late 30’s, approximately 5’9″ tall, with a clean cut hairstyle. He was last seen wearing a blue polot shirt and slacks.

Investigators also say, the man was wearing a gold badge around his neck. The resident told investigators he believed the badge had the words “Department of Children and Families” inscribed on it, along with a State of Florida seal in the center.

OPD is working to release a composite sketch of the man.

If anyone has seen an individual matching this description or has had any contact with this individual, please call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
