Requires law enforcement officer to reveal facial identity during certain public interactions and to present sufficient identification prior to arresting or detaining person.

Summary

The Law Enforcement Officer Protection Act bans officers from wearing masks or disguises while interacting with the public, except for limited situations such as undercover work, protective shields, medical masks, or smoke protection. It also requires officers to provide clear identification—through uniform insignia, a photo ID card, a badge/tag, or a verbal statement of name and agency—before detaining or arresting anyone, with narrow exemptions for safety or investigative reasons. The measure aims to improve transparency and public trust in law enforcement.
