Most officers do have a number associated with their law enforcement position, but this might be a state commission number, issued by the agency that certifies all officers in that state. In that case, the officer would keep the same number at any agency he worked within that state, even if he changed departments one or more times.

Badge numbers are public record and they have to let you know who it belongs to, at least their last name. If your purpose was to file a complaint, or commend an officer, you can always do so by using the badge number instead of the name. They will figure it out and the process will continue as it should.
