A 7139 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to requiring state and local law enforcement officers to identify themselves to the public

This bill requires New York state and local law enforcement officers to identify themselves during specific public interactions, directly affecting officers and community members during encounters. Officers must state their full name, rank, command, and the reason for the interaction during activities like traffic stops, pedestrian stops, or searches, and provide a contact business card after non-arrest encounters. Exceptions apply if officers are not in uniform or identification would threaten public safety or ongoing investigations. The law aims to increase transparency and build trust by creating a written record of non-arrest interactions.
