Public Safety - Law Enforcement Officers - Identification

Summary

The bill directs the Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission to create a model policy on officer identification, and requires every law‑enforcement agency to adopt a matching policy. Officers must wear their agency name, last name, and badge or ID number on the outer layer of clothing while on duty and must verbally provide it if asked, except when engaged in undercover work. Violations are misdemeanors punishable by up to two years in jail, a $2,000 fine, and loss of civil‑immunity.
