How can you locate a police officer by name?

Answer 1

You would have to know what police department that police officer works for. Most agencies have the same type of numbering system. Assuming you know that information, just call that agency's non emergency phone number and talk to the dispatchers. 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.

Answer 2

The management or personnel office of the law enforcement agency you are interested in would have that information. But I must tell you that it is far more common for the opposite information to be asked (i.e.: I have the officers badge number - what is his name?)

Answer 3

All officers badge numbers are on file with their assigned agency. Inquire,giving the badge number, and ask for their name.

If you have neither the name or the badge number, you're pretty much out of luck, unless you have a specific complaint against a specific officer.

In that case, speak to a ranking supervisor at the agency and describe the incident, the time of day (or night) and the area in which it took place. Officers are generally assigned a geographic area to patrol, and if your complaint warrants an investigation, an inquiry can be conducted to determine who it may have been.

Answer 4

By badge number, or incident info. Do NOT stalk cute cops. This will not impress them.

If you know the city for which that officer works for, you can Google map "CITYNAME Police department" and get directions to the police station. Go there and ask the officer at the front desk that you wish to speak with the officer whose name you have.

Answer 5

Police are identified and registered by their badge number. The best way to find one by his or her badge number is to request a meeting with the officer through the Police Department.
