(a) the reason the undercover identification is needed;

(b) the real name and date of birth of the officer needing undercover identification;

(b) provide a copy of valid identification issued by the officer's agency indicating that he/she is a peace officer; and,

(c) complete the application form provided by the department.

(5) The department may issue an undercover identification if the requirements of this rule are met and the department believes that such issuance is in the best interests of law enforcement.
