New Jersey A2004 prohibits law enforcement officers from concealing their identity during public operations.

New Jersey A2004 mandates that law enforcement officers clearly display their agency name or initials, along with their name or badge number, on their uniforms during public operations. The bill prohibits officers from wearing masks or disguises unless specific exceptions apply, such as undercover work, special tactical operations, water rescues, environmental hazards, or medical necessity as certified by a physician. Violators face a disorderly persons offense, which can result in fines and imprisonment.
