If it's only their first name.....I don't mind......but not last names........THen the families would be at risk......and not just the individual officer.
If I really wanted retribution, I would wait outside the cop shop, follow the officer home and then do what i had to do... who needs name tags?
It's obvious that you didn't read my first post.
JERK!

But come on........A criminal is more likely to remember the face of the officer who arrested them....than the name tag they're wearing.....don't you think???? This makes no sense to me. They are police officers for crying out loud, their job IS a risk with or without a name tag.

why don't you forget about my 20 miles over the limit in a 40 zone, and spend your time on catching people doing things that might actually hurt someone?
You don't think that going 20 miles over the limit in a 40 mile zone might hurt somebody??
i think puerco sucio will still come out even though they have their name tags.
maybe oink...but they're real names would just distract me.
why do i need to know their names? it's going to be on the ticket they're giving me. maybe i can call them by their real names and say listen officer ...john. why don't you forget about my 20 miles over the limit in a 40 zone, and spend your time on catching people doing things that might actually hurt someone?
I heard there's been a shooting once a week this year. how about looking into that. you know? there's this new thing called the internet, and it says that my 20 miles/hr is a waste of your time compared to saving a life.
I'm sure that the name tag would only have their first name......no?
I don't mind the idea.....so long as it doesn't put any of them at risk....

I'm not sure about this too, I like the idea of being able to know who you are dealing with but for their own safety it might not be the greatest of ideas.
Not sure I like the idea but I am wondering if the rate of salking and assault against the police force and their family, had raised or not, in a dramatic way, since they are wearing name tags.
If not, why not doing it here !

Police To Wear Nametags Tuesday July 11, 2006 In an effort to improve relations between Toronto police and the communities they serve, a new rule will make it mandatory for officers to wear nametags.
The identification will replace badge numbers currently displayed on cops' shoulders and hats.
The Toronto Police Services Board passed the motion unanimously Monday after two years of bickering over the issue. The police union isn't happy with the ruling however, saying it'll only put the city's finest in jeopardy.
Toronto Police Association president Dave Wilson plans to appeal the move to the Labour Relations Board, saying identifying police officers to the public also means identifying them to criminals.
He says it'd make it easier for bad guys to stalk the cops that arrest them.
The board first approved the notion of nametags in September of 2004 as a way to improve a then-shaky relationship between officers and the public after allegations of racial profiling surfaced.
Toronto wouldn't be the first police service to require their officers to identify themselves while on the job - nametags are used in Florida, New York City, and Canadian cities including Vancouver, London, and Fredericton. Ontario Provincial Police officers can wear them if they choose to.
The ruling takes effect on December 31.
Do you think police officers should wear name tags?
If you say YES, call 416-870-2242. NO, 416-870-4444.
