The Executive Protection Service (EPS) has issued a strong public warning following reports that some former agents are unlawfully parading as active officers by using expired EPS identification cards.
According to the Service, these individuals are no longer employed by the EPS and therefore possess no legal authority to represent the institution or carry out any security-related duties in its name. The EPS emphasized that such conduct amounts to criminal impersonation and represents a serious breach of the law, with potential implications for national security.
The Service made it clear that impersonating an EPS officer will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Former agents involved in this practice have been directed to immediately cease these actions, as the institution stands ready to pursue legal measures against anyone found misusing EPS credentials or falsely presenting themselves as active personnel.
The EPS also urged members of the public to remain vigilant. Citizens are advised not to engage the services of anyone claiming to be an EPS agent without proper verification through official channels. The Service warned that individuals who knowingly or unknowingly deal with impostors do so at their own risk.
Reaffirming its mandate, the Executive Protection Service stated that it remains committed to safeguarding the integrity of the institution and protecting the public. Any person found culpable of impersonation or related offenses, the EPS said, will face the full weight of the law in accordance with the statutes of the Republic of Liberia.
