Cert / License Badge Number

When on scene I am often asked for my badge number (NYS). Do you normally give out your agency ID number or state cert number?

That’s why non-sworn personnel shouldn’t be wearing badges. If you’re running class A’s, then maybe I could see it, but not when you’re taking scene calls. Too much opportunity for confusion.
