This bill establishes regulations regarding the identification of law enforcement officers during public operations in New Jersey. It mandates that officers must clearly display their employing agency's name or initials, along with their own name or unique badge number on their uniforms. Additionally, the bill prohibits officers from wearing masks or disguises while performing their official duties, with specific exceptions for situations such as undercover assignments, special tactical operations, water rescues, and environmental protections against cold, smoke, or biological agents. Officers may also wear medical-grade masks if deemed necessary by a licensed physician.

Violations of this bill's provisions will result in the officer being charged with a disorderly persons offense, which carries penalties including fines ranging from $500 to $1,000, potential imprisonment for up to six months, or both. The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in law enforcement interactions with the public by ensuring that officers are identifiable during their official duties.
