Officer identification requirement (Ord 26-6)
Summary
A new ordinance would require any law enforcement officer working in Saint Paul — including federal agents — to visibly display agency name and badge or name on their outermost uniform layer, with misdemeanor penalties. Councilmembers see it as answering residents' inability to identify masked agents; Bowie wants the 'danger' exemption narrowed before the February 4 public hearing.
