When I worked at a commercial alarm company as a monitor, we were told to only give out an operator number and not a name when we dealt with any form of law enforcement on the phone. The reason was that if they subpoenaed “operator 29,” one of our designated people would go in and read off our notes. Remember: this was just for an alarm company. The government’s own stormtrooper division has a lot more incentive to provide bullshit credentials.
