Requires state and local law enforcement officers to identify themselves to the public
S 4023 requires New York state and local law enforcement officers to identify themselves by full name, rank, and command, and state the specific reason for the encounter when initiating certain activities like traffic stops, pedestrian stops, or searches. Officers must provide a business card with their contact information at the end of non-arrest interactions. Exceptions apply if an officer is not in uniform and identification would compromise public safety or an ongoing investigation. The bill aims to increase transparency and build public trust during police-citizen interactions.
