The article sets out to examine the stances of novice and senior Cypriot law enforcers towards the disclosure of their identities in anti-riot operations. For doing so, the input of 201 Cypriot law enforcers into a two-phase cross-sectional study is examined. Unsurprisingly, it is demonstrated that, although by rendering police officers identifiable during crowd controls will unquestionably enhance police legitimacy, senior law enforcers oppose such development (regardless of their gender, rank, length of service, post, and experience). However, this is not reflected in the perceptions of police cadets, whose (only) 1-year service at the police seems to prevent them from following in the footsteps of their senior colleagues. To this end, particular aspects of police culture could have a substantive role in supressing procedural justice, that is transparency and justice in identifying deviant police officers during anti-riot operations.

文章着手研究塞浦路斯新手和高级执法人员在防暴行动中披露身份的立场。为此，检查了 201 名塞浦路斯执法人员在两阶段横断面研究中的投入。不出所料，事实证明，尽管在人群控制期间使警察可识别无疑会增强警察的合法性，但高级执法人员反对这种发展（无论其性别、级别、服务年限、职位和经验如何）。然而，这并没有反映在警察学员的看法中，他们（仅）在警察局服役一年似乎阻止他们追随高级同事的脚步。为此，警察文化的特定方面可以在压制程序正义方面发挥实质性作用，
