Vermont H0747 establishes standards for law enforcement identification to promote transparency and accountability.

Vermont H0747, known as the "No Secret Police Act," mandates that all local, state, and federal law enforcement officers clearly identify themselves by their agency and their name or badge number while interacting with the public. It prohibits officers from wearing masks or personal disguises, except under specific circumstances such as undercover assignments, tactical operations, or hazardous situations. The bill also outlines penalties for violations and allows for civil actions against officers who fail to comply.
