All police officers should wear the tag displaying their name issued by the police on their uniform from January 1, 2012, the Department of Information says.

Currently they only wear their Regimental Numbers but from next year they will be wearing both the Regimental Number and their Name Tag.

Better also name the police station the cop is attached to.

The name tag must be in all three languages so that sinhalese, tamils and foreigners will know their identities.
It should have the first name and surname.

Innocent lower officers are more discipline. Look the higher ranks & political leadership must wear the tags.
