Police Badge Show

Police Badge Show - Professional Law Enforcement Identification

Every law enforcement officer needs a way to identify themselves professionally during interactions. This police badge script gives your officers a clean, realistic way to display their credentials to civilians, suspects, and other players. Instead of awkwardly announcing I'm a cop in chat, officers simply show their badge with a command, and nearby players see an authentic identification display.

With 184 servers using this badge system, it's become the standard solution for roleplay communities that take police interactions seriously. The script adds that essential layer of realism where officers can prove their authority without breaking immersion or relying on metagaming.

What's Included

You're getting a complete badge identification system that works seamlessly with ESX police jobs. The script displays professional-looking badge credentials including the officer's name, rank, badge number, and department. The display appears to nearby players only, maintaining realism by limiting visibility to those who would actually see a physical badge in real life.

The badge interface is clean and easy to read, designed to look like an actual police credential rather than a generic game UI. It appears quickly when triggered and dismisses automatically after a few seconds, keeping the interaction smooth and natural.

Perfect For

• Serious roleplay servers with active law enforcement

• Any server wanting professional police interactions

How It Works

For Officers: When you need to identify yourself to a civilian or suspect, use the badge command (typically /badge or a configurable keybind). Your badge credential appears on nearby players' screens showing your official information. The display lasts a few seconds, giving people time to read your details, then automatically disappears. You can continue moving and interacting normally while the badge is visible.

For Civilians: When an officer shows their badge, you see a professional credential display on your screen showing their name, rank, badge number, and department. This confirms you're dealing with a legitimate officer rather than an impersonator. The information appears clearly and gives you time to note their details for roleplay purposes.

For Administrators: Configure badge appearance, proximity range, display duration, and department information through simple config files. Assign unique badge numbers to officers, customize the look for different departments, and integrate the system with your existing ESX job structure.

Realistic Police Scenarios

Traffic Stops: Officer pulls over a speeding driver. Before requesting documents, they show their badge to identify themselves as law enforcement. The driver sees Officer J. Smith, Badge #2847, Los Santos Police Department and knows this is an official stop, not a criminal impersonating police.

Investigations: Detectives arrive at a business to interview witnesses about a crime. They show their badges at the door to establish authority and get cooperation. The badge display proves they're legitimate investigators rather than random people asking questions.

Undercover Operations: An undercover officer needs to break cover during an emergency. They quickly flash their badge to uniformed officers responding to a scene, proving they're law enforcement and preventing friendly fire or accidental arrests.

Court Testimony: During courtroom roleplay, officers presenting evidence show their credentials to establish their authority and position. The badge display adds formality to legal proceedings and helps with proper courtroom procedure.

Citizen Interactions: When civilians question an officer's authority or request identification, the officer can professionally present their credentials instead of arguing in voice chat. The badge settles disputes about legitimacy immediately.

Customization Options

Visual Design: Modify badge colors to match your department branding. Change text sizes, fonts, and layout arrangement. Add department logos or seals. Adjust transparency and positioning on screen. The config file gives you control over every visual element.

Information Display: Choose which details appear on the badge - name, rank, badge number, department, division, years of service. You can add custom fields for specialized information like certifications or special units. Tailor the display to match your server's police structure.

Department Separation: Configure different badge designs for LSPD, BCSO, State Police, FBI, or custom departments. Each agency can have unique colors, layouts, and information displays while using the same core script.

Badge Numbers: Manually assign specific badge numbers to officers for authenticity, or let the system auto-generate them. Track badge numbers in your roster for administrative purposes and roleplay continuity.

What Makes It Stand Out

Most servers either skip police identification entirely or rely on officers typing their info in chat. This script provides the professional alternative - a clean, visual credential display that feels authentic and maintains immersion. The proximity-based system means only people close enough to actually see a physical badge can see the display, adding realism that general announcements lack.

The automatic integration with ESX job data means officers don't have to manually enter their information or worry about keeping badge displays updated. When they get promoted, their badge rank updates automatically. When they transfer departments, their badge reflects the new assignment. It just works.

The minimal performance impact and simple configuration make it a low-maintenance addition that provides high-value roleplay enhancement. Install it once, configure your departments, and it runs reliably without constant admin attention.
