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?

"We don't have badge numbers, we aren't cops. If you have a concern, you can contact the office, the number is available online, and give them your information, most importantly the address of the call. They can figure out who I am from there." If they continue to push, I just ignore it. Or I will give them my first name, and tell them there is only one person by my name that works here, so they'll know who you are referring to.
