Authorities in New York say a former policeman is accused of running a class that gave participants phony law enforcement badges.

Federal and local authorities say Robert Neves was arrested Tuesday at his Staten Island home. Another man has been arrested in Miami.

The case focuses on a three-day, $860 course offered in Brooklyn, Washington Heights and Passaic, N.J. Participants were not required to undergo background checks.

Authorities say the badges looked like NYPD credentials, but bore the Great Seal of the United States.

The name of Neves' attorney could not immediately be determined.
