D. Keeping Identities of Officers Secret

Many LEOBORs have provisions preventing the release of the names or other identifying information of cops accused of or under investigation for wrongdoing, regardless of the charge. Cleveland prohibits the release of the officer's home address (understandable) or photograph (probably irrelevant, given the Internet). Chicago's CBA completely prevents disclosure to media of the identity of any officer under administrative or criminal investigation--but officers exonerated by the process can tell the department to make a public proclamation of their exoneration. While releasing every single administrative procedure subject's name would be excessive, surely the public has a right to know which of its sworn peace officers is suspected of criminal wrongdoing.
