How It Works
Officers receive a police badge item when they go on duty. When they need to identify themselves — during traffic stops, investigations, or when questioned — they use the badge from their inventory. This triggers a visual display showing their credentials to nearby players. The system automatically populates officer information from the ESX database, ensuring accuracy.
