They’re not asking you. They’re asking the companies
The real solution is for companies to ask for the name of the officer, and then go to the official police website, call their non emergency number, and ask to speak with the officer. Then confirm that it was them, in fact, that sent the request.
Bonus: then tell them to get a fucking warrant and hang up the phone.
