Requires law enforcement officers to reveal their facial identity and present identification before detaining or arresting individuals.
The Law Enforcement Officer Protection Act mandates that law enforcement officers reveal their facial identities during public interactions and present sufficient identification before detaining or arresting individuals. Officers must either wear a department-issued uniform, demonstrate a department-issued identification card, badge, or verbally disclose their name and agency. Exemptions apply if revealing identification could compromise an investigation, if a supervisor deems stealth necessary, or if an officer's safety is at risk.
