Closed Require increased visibility of police identity numbers on uniforms

Closed on

How can the police be held accountable when it can be difficult for members of the public to identify their ID numbers, which are tiny and on their shoulder? The Government should require this number be much larger and printed on both the front and back of their uniforms.

In cases where police where behaved poorly it should be easy for them to identify the police officers. Current practice regarding display of identity numbers makes this to difficult.
