Law enforcement agencies AND militiary organizations provide name patches for officer uniforms. That's not sleep-away camp. That's accountability. There's no reason why the same can't be done on the side of a mask.
If the concern is "the sheriff can't identify you if you're wearing a mask" then the obvious solution is to put your identity on the mask.
A police officer wearing his uniform, with a mask on that has a name that matches the patch on his uniform, coming out of an actual police car and approaching a vehicle whose driver has violated some kind of law - should be easily recognized as legit by the driver of that vehicle.
There's no reason why that officer shouldn't wear a mask.
And if they won't let them wear masks and insist it's an "identity" issue, then they can require clear face shields. Then there'd be no doubt that the person sitting in Lt. Clark's seat really is Lt. Clark.
This isn't rocket science. Even 3rd graders could come up with clever ways of keeping a face safe while allowing identification of that face to others.
