A 2574 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain law enforcement officers to present identification while on-duty.

This bill (A2574) requires New Jersey law enforcement officers to show sufficient identification during official duties, including traffic stops. Officers meet this requirement by satisfying two or more of four options: wearing a uniform with agency insignia, presenting a photo ID card, showing a department-issued badge/label, or operating a visibly marked vehicle. Exceptions apply when identification could endanger officers or compromise investigations, and plain-clothed officers may still respond to urgent safety situations. The bill aims to help community members verify an officer's identity during routine interactions.
