According to PL 9-10, § 2: Section 2. Purposes and Findings. The Legislature finds there is a growing problem with people wearing uniforms, badges or insignia identical to those worn by sworn police officers, corrections officers and firefighters. The purpose of this Act is to prohibit the wearing by persons other than sworn police officers, corrections officers or firefighters of uniforms, badges or insignia identical to those worn by sworn officers of the Department of Public Safety.
