I think there is an offence of impersonating a Police officer which they'd probably use.

To impersonate a police officer, do you not have to say "I am a police officer"? Otherwise, fancy
dress parties would be illegal.

About two weeks ago there was a gent here that was charged with impersonating a police officer. He'd
"borrowed" a uniform from a mate who was an officer, gone to a fancy dress party, got ******, walked
half way home and passed out in the gutter/garden/park.

To any passers by it looked like a ****** policeman, so the courts charged him.
