Name Tags on Police uniform

[Bitterman]

As I recall.. The last time the hammer fell and officers were issued name tags the issued memo stated that all staff were required to wear name tags while on duty... It didn't say you had to wear "your" name tag.
So.... of course smart asses being smart asses....

'Should use stripper or porn names... Y'know, combine your first pets name with your mothers maiden name...
I'd be "Tippy MacDonald"

This issue has come up once in awhile... Some officers are way too paranoid re. letting inmates know their sir name.
Name tags were once issued... memos re. manditory wearing while on duty came out.... There wasn't any enforcement though.

Search hard enough there was actually a thread about this a year or so ago.

Anyways I like the idea of Surname tags. It gives the police office are more approachable appearance in my mind.

I think it should be the officer's choice at the scene whether or not to provide their name. A badge # is made visible for a reason. Not every dipshit on the street needs to know your name.

One can only assume that if you get on a police service (in Ontario) you will not issue any PON’s on the grounds that doing so will identify you by name! Take a look at the first (top) line of an (Ontario) Provincial Offence Notice. Badge number is found towards the bottom with your John Hancock. And putting your name on the PON is not an option!

The mindset you have is shared by a few and likely the driving force behind Sevices going to name tags so as to identify you to the public you serve as some won't or at least go out of their way to hide it.

Your name will come out over and over again during a career in a variety of ways so you might as well get use to it.

Yup and the best thing about your name on the PON is that its in black and white and you can say," my names on the top sir, drive safe."

No need to get into a large discussion about what your name is and the accused making a big show about writing ur name down.


Anyone agree thats what I was told by an officer.

I've done that before. I had a lady flipping out because I gave her a ticket and she was demanding to know my name. I told her and she wanted to know how it was spelled. I told her to calm down and read the ticket and she'd find my name on there.
