How can you locate a police officer by name?
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.
How many police badges can you earn?
If you are referring to the badge that is issued to a law enforcement officer, they only get one, typically with the officers "badge number" affixed to, or engraved on, it. If they are promoted and move to a higher rank they will be issued another badge which reflects their new rank and new number. They can "earn" as many badges as the ranks to which they may be promoted. Upon promotion they surrender their former badge back to the department or agency and it and the number are re-assigned to a new officer. Badge numbers are customarily never 'retired' from use unless the officer that carried it at the time was killed in the line of duty.
