Requires state and local law enforcement officers to identify themselves during law enforcement activities.
This bill amends the executive law to require state and local law enforcement officers to identify themselves during law enforcement activities. Officers must provide their full name, rank, and command, as well as the reason for the activity. If the activity does not result in an arrest or summons, officers must provide a business card with contact information. This does not apply if identifying the officer would compromise safety. The intent is to increase transparency and build trust between law enforcement and the public.
