### sec.27 Power to require name and address
A CBRE police officer may require a person to state the person’s correct name and address.

However, the CBRE police officer may only exercise the identity power in relation to a person if the CBRE police officer considers it is necessary—

individuals detained; and

to enable the CBRE commander to contact the person if necessary because of something relating to the CBR substance involved in the CBR emergency that may put the person’s life or health, or the life or health of someone else, at risk.
For exercising the identity power, the CBRE police officer may require the person to produce documents in the person’s possession or control that may help establish the person’s identity.
