When asked shouldn't police officers provide their first name badge number and rank?
They must supply enough information to identify them to someone who asks. Last name, and/or badge number will suffice, or if in plainclothes, you may ask to see their identification or commission card.
What do the numbers under badge mean?
If you are referring to a police officers badge, each officer is assigned a personal identification number. If you had a reason to find out or indicate who a particular officer is or was, you could give his/her badge number, and this number would identify the officer. In other words, the number connects to a name.
How many numbers in a police badge?
In most cases, badges are issued to officers when they graduate from their basic police (academy) training. However, not all badge have numbers, and the officer's "badge number" may not have anything to do with his badge. 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. The officer's number may be a serial number indicating his seniority among other governmental or department employees.
Does a police officer have to identify himself?
There is no law that requires it but most law enforcement agencies have internal regulations that require officers to identify themselves (when asked) by either their name or their badge number. This regulation obviously does not apply to officers working in undercover assignments.
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.
