New Jersey S3114, known as the "Law Enforcement Officer Protection Act," requires law enforcement officers to reveal their facial identity during public interactions and present sufficient identification before detaining or arresting individuals. Officers must be in uniform, show a department-issued ID card, display a badge, or verbally state their name and agency. Exemptions apply if revealing identity could compromise an investigation, if a supervisor deems stealth necessary, or if an officer's safety is at risk.
