72 SUHAKAM Report of Public Inquiry into the Incidents During and After the Public Assembly of 28 April 2012 5.88 Police personnel should wear their permanent name tags or identification body numbers at all time when exercising their duty. The Panel recognise the need for plain-clothes officers especially to monitor, observe and document the event but these officers must not be involved in the dispersal or arresting process, unless they clearly identify themselves. 5.89 The Panel recommends that in the interest of transparency and public interest, PDRM makes public their SOP so that members of public understand and appreciate the actions taken by the police. This is also to ensure the police personnel act according to the SOP. 5.90 Persons arrested should be informed ground of arrest and not be denied access to legal counsel.
