Impersonating Cop: Man's Life Upended

0:00It's April 28th. You're listening to Canada News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Corey with the story. A 35-year-old guy named Kyle Edmond Buzan just pleaded guilty in Edmonton Court to impersonating a police officer and using gear they made. Him look legit. He also admitted to snacking property through lies and breaking into a building to cause trouble. This all went down at the Edmonton Court of Justice on Monday. He connected with a woman on a fetish website back in May, 2025, where she mentioned liking cops. Buzan, who actually worked as a transit peace officer for the city, faked it by sending pics of his then-fiancés real police badge and uniform. She bought it, even handed over a key fob, for after hours access to her apartment building. Things fell apart when she spotted him on a peace officer bike in a video, not a full police one. She confronted him in July, demanded the key back and got spooked after he snuck into the building to drop it off without permission.

1:00His ex-biancés, the real cop, shared how his arrest wrecked her life, forcing her out of her home. Judges went with a joint deal from prosecutors and defense, 24 months of house arrest with an ankle monitor, then three years probation. He has to log 200 hours of community service, give a DNA sample, stay away from both women, ditch any police gear at home, and face a 10 year. Weapons ban. Buzan had a clean record, served in the military, and worked as a correctional officer before. He's apologized big time for the betrayal, saying it's tanked his job hunt and relationships, but now he's locked down, learning the hard way about, trust.
