An act relating to standards for law enforcement identification

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires law enforcement officers to clearly display their name or badge number and agency on their uniform when interacting with the public. It prohibits officers from wearing masks or disguises, with exceptions for hazardous situations, medical needs, and specific undercover operations. The Vermont Criminal Justice Council will create a statewide policy for these identification standards, and violations could result in fines.
