S 885 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

New York's S 885 requires state and local law enforcement officers to identify themselves during specific interactions, including traffic stops, pedestrian stops, and searches. Officers must state their full name, rank, command, and the reason for the encounter, and provide a business card with contact details after non-arrest interactions. The bill excludes situations where identification would compromise safety or ongoing investigations. It directly affects officers during routine encounters and aims to create a written record of interactions for the public.
