badge numbers

Cop identification codes

Badge numbers are the unique identification numbers assigned to police officers and other uniformed personnel, typically displayed on their badges or uniforms.

The number links an individual officer to official records, making it possible to file complaints or commendations: I asked for his badge number after he searched my car.

Requesting someone's badge number signals an intent to report their conduct.
