There may be a time when the hero (or the villain) needs to do something covertly to the point that if they were seen, their identities can be given away due to publicly known or identifiable police (or law enforcement agencies), military or paramilitary uniforms, insignias, logos, name or ID tags. That's certainly going to be troublesome if someone was able to detect them and "inform" the relevant personalities. If that's done, their efforts are doomed to fail no matter what they do. So what can be done? One way is to temporarily dispose/hide anything that can be identified by the public by hiding their uniforms, insignias, logos and IDs until it's safe to use them again. Sometimes, they also accompany the use of balaclavas and face masks. Others include the use of technology such as hacking or creating false identities in order to hide their actual names and affiliations from the public eye. Dressing as the Enemy is also another way of temporarily hiding your face and identity until the time is right. Another is to simply change clothes before the operation is performed until it's over. Or you can just insist that you're not a cop/soldier/law enforcer/etc. and hopefully the said organization is considered as a No Such Agency. One of the few negative ideas about it is that it can sometimes lead to a Friend or Foe? scenario. Others bad scenarios include catching your allies unaware of who you are or miscommunication when the persons or groups involved are not identified correctly by friendlies. Sometimes, the undercover cop/agent/soldier/etc. can be forced into a situation where they need to do something horrible to prove that they're really a criminal/terrorist. The worse thing that can happen is that someone you know is a Dirty Cop, a Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop, The Mole, Rogue Soldier or a Rogue Agent who reveals said person's affiliation to the bad guy/s. Partially Truth in Television since a False Flag Operation always requires a group to hide anything that can easily identify them if an operation is conducted. Anyone doing an legitimate undercover op needs to pull this off successfully so that they can't be easily unmasked and maintain Plausible Deniability as much as possible. Compare/contrast to Secret Identity, which entails to hiding your identity fully from the public. Compare to The Mole, which is one reason why the people involved would hide their true allegiance alongside The Infiltration, which is another reason why people would go to great length to hide their allegiance as a mole. Secret-Identity Identity can sometimes result in the person/persons trying to do their work during a secret op, but they fear Becoming the Mask one day. This sometimes goes along with On-Site Procurement to ensure that an operation that requires great secrecy at all costs remains a secret. See Outside Man, Inside Man, which is a character dynamic trait that goes along with this. A subtrope of this is Must State If You're a Cop and Dirty Harriet. Any Rogue Agent or Rogue Soldier will probably want to do this to keep attention away from them if they're acting as the bad guy, which in this place with be a subversion of said trope. Subtrope of Artistic License – Law Enforcement. |

In the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Demons", Stabler goes undercover as a paroled sex offender in order to track another parolee whom he suspects of having already reoffended. Part of his undercover work involves letting his fellow detectives hassle him so that he can report to them without the parolee getting suspicious. | |

A Certain Magical Index (and its manga spinoffs A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Scientific Accelerator) has Judgement, a law enforcement agency next to Anti-Skill, which is made up of young people ranging from elementary school to university/college students. They wear the green arm band to signify their status as Judgement officers. But if he/she needs to proceed with an investigation without revealing their status, they have the right to take it off and hide it to avoid being discovered. | |

Grimm: In "Wesenrein", the team moves to save Monroe from being killed by a cult known as the Wesenrein. Since they are going in without official police backup, Nick, Hank and Sean toss their police badges in the unmarked SUV in order to hide any details that can give their identity away as police officers. Averted with Wu, who simply didn't bother to conceal his uniform or minimize it so that the cultists can't identify him as a police officer. In "Cry Havoc", Wu has the foresight to leave his PPB badge at his house to avoid being called out as a police officer against the Verrat. |

Throughout NCIS: Los Angeles, this is how agents and support personnel of the Office of Special Project operate. They are a NCIS-sanctioned deep cover anti-criminal/terrorist unit. In some instances, law enforcement does undercover work, which doesn't go smooth always due to (mostly) corrupt cops involved. The trope is deconstructed in the 10th season when the OSP team is forced to do a black op assignment since the politicians in Washington DC are furious about what happened in Mexico that Deputy Director Ochoa made a deal to get the OSP off their radar. | |

One of the new elite officers in Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade is Kazuki Fuse, and he scores well enough in exercises that his superiors choose him to go undercover to locate the renegade band called the Wolf Brigade. Fuse agrees, and begins making contact through the sister of a known anarchist sympathizer, Kei Amemiya. Imagine their surprise when the police honchos discover that Fuse has been part of the Wolf Brigade all along, assigned to infiltrate the police corps. | |

Spooks uses this trope as a recurring device when MI5 agents need to conduct undercover operations to gather the needed evidence to put away the bad guys. However, things don't always go according to plan. And in some instances, the agency is sometimes forced to retire their best officers (like Zoe). | |

Splinter Cell: The entire point of Third Echelon was to operate under deep cover and without official support from Washington aside from the usual logistics and field supplies from its allies without asking about the organization. 3E was to take the lead in the war against its enemies in the field of information warfare. Its successor, Fourth Echelon, operates under the same principle. In Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, CIA agent Norman Soth was deployed in Indonesia (under false names) during the Cold War to assist in training Kopassus and other Indonesian special forces unit to take down guerrilla forces operating throughout the archipelago as part of OPERATION: REDBEARD until Washington withdrew support. After being injured by a land mine and angered by Washington burning him and other agents in the country, Norman threw his support behind Darah Dan Doa. |

In the S.W.A.T. (2017) episode "Hunted", Hondo and Deacon went in to check on a fellow LAPD officer who was infiltrating a biker gang known as the Mercs. When Hawkins mentions that the Mercs were targeting the Jackals, Hondo mentioned that he didn't say which gang the LAPD was investigating. Both SWAT officers realized that Hawkins fell in line with the Mercs for real. | |

Blue Bloods: When Jamie Reagan is doing undercover work in the Sanfino family in season 2, his handlers take careful steps to make sure he can't be identified, like taking down all official police department pictures of him and replacing them with placeholder ones. This complicates things in one episode where Jamie rescues a baby from a burning building. To protect the sting Jamie is involved in, Sgt. Renzulli has to take public credit for the rescue, although Frank gives Jamie the medal he deserves privately later. | |

Throughout the Higurashi: When They Cry franchise, the Yamainu is tasked by Tokyo to keep an eye on Hinamizawa. They operate as a gardening company as one of their front companies to prevent the rest of the world from being aware that they're a black ops unit tasked to investigate Rika's background. They're also given carte blanche to do what needs to be done. This include being a Cop Killer or disguising as Japanese Self-Defense Forces personnel to assassinate anyone if Emergency Manual 34 needs to be enforced. | |

Ghost in the Shell: Public Security Section 9 is a secretive law enforcement unit that "officially" doesn't exist in the Japanese law enforcement system. The government gets to use them in sensitive missions that requires their intervention before a case gets to the public eye or investigate cases involving the government if the relevant agency or ministry doesn't want to cooperate. Section 9 is not the only plainclothes unit to not be easily recognized. In Stand Alone Complex, the Narcotics Suppression Squad operates as a plainclothes unit, which allows the Big Bad in the first season to use their assets to take out S9. When that fails, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces' Umibozu is called in to use its commandos in order to flush out S9 and take them all alive or kill them since they are known as a black ops unit in the JMSDF. |

Delta Green: Since the eponymous organization is trying to mantain secrecy, their agents aren't employed by Delta Green but by the FBI, CIA, DEA, CDC and other agencies, they have "day jobs" on their parent agencies and are designated into Delta Green operations when necessary. Sometimes if the operations call for it, the higher-ups can get them the cover of a relevant agency for the operations. NRO Delta agents are employees of the National Reconnaissance Office as a cover, but since the NRO doesn't officially exist, they are institutionally invisible and have double cover to hide their allegiance to MAJESTIC-12. |

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War: The playble Wardog Squadron becomes this after mission 19, when they are officially shot down and immediately reformed in secret as "The Ghosts of Razgriz", whose existence the Osean Government covers up and officially denies for an entire decade. The 229th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Grabacr", Arch-Enemy of the Wardogs and The Heavy of the game, doesn't officially exist within the Osean military, either. For most of the game, they are known only as the "8492nd Squadron", which the brass insists doesn't even exist and whose war crimes are repeatedly blamed on the Wardogs. This is because Grabacr is a covert aggressor squadron comprised of ace pilots recruited from the disbanded and banned Belkan Air Force. Osean command was so concerned about the public outcry if them hiring Belkans to train their own air force became known, they had failed to notice Grabacr being corrupted by The Remnant of the Belkan military-industrial complex seeking revenge for their defeat 15 years ago. |

In Darker than Black, this is used by the Public Security Bureau's 4th Foreign Affairs Division whenever they get a case, criminal or terrorist alike, that relates to Contractors. Saito goes undercover as a waiter from a catering company when he infiltrates the hotel owned by the Qing Long Tang triad in order to find out who was responsible for assassinating its prominent members. Averted in the sense that he used his official name instead of an alias. Misaki calls him out on this. The 2nd season has the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications establish an anti-Syndicate black ops team known as Section 3, based at the MIAC's Statistics Bureau, 2nd Investigative Division. | |

Happens on a semi-regular basis in BattleTech. One of the most famous instances was during the 4th Succession War, when the ComGuard, Comstar's top secret military branch,note so top secret that the Inner Sphere wouldn't even learn of its existence for another 25 years staged an attack on the New Avalon Institute of Science in an attempt to destroy the military research that was being conducted there while disguised as a mercenary unit. | |

In The Division and The Division 2, agents of the Strategic Homeland Division operate under civilian clothes to conceal their identity, but they do work on behalf of the federal government and show proof of their allegiance by using the Division emblems seen (usually) in their armbands. | |

SEAL Team: Especially in the episode "Hold What you Got", the Mexican Marines working with the SEALs are in charge of an op to bag a cartel leader in Mexico. Because of the serious sensitivity of the operation and not to mention of the possibility that the cartel may have sympathizers in the military, police and intelligence services assigned to work with them, Jason and the rest of Bravo Team have to visually masquerade as Mexican Marines and use their gear in order to blend in since their American camos/patches can easily give them away. They later disguise themselves as sicarios from another cartel in order to intimidate the Doza Cartel. In "Frogs on a Track", Bravo Team infiltrates a civilian train in Burkina Faso disguised as ordinary civilians as they can't risk allowing fighting SGS fighters with civilians being collateral damage. |

Dark Blue has a secretive LAPD unit that has its officers go undercover as criminals and other types of undesirables that the risk is great, especially if the problem has the officer settling on their new identity. Said unit is not officially recognized as a unit in the force, so there's the problem of having a budget publicly set aside for them. Being in the unit can also make you use the same methods the bad guys use to put them away and can wreck your family and social life outside the force. | |

Tenet: In the opening hostage scene at the Opera House, the protagonist's team wait until the local KORD unit shows up to deal with a terrorist attack. As they are wearing standard black BDUs with gas masks and ballistic helmets, all they have to do is select the appropriate KORD velcro shoulder patch from a bunch of patches they have of the different units that might have turned up, then charge in with the real KORD elements. Unfortunately, it turns out that their team isn't the only one pulling this trick. | |

He poses as someone from Anicum by having messy hair and a fake moustache. But during this undercover mission, he gets drunk and not only finds out nothing of value, but gives away information that helps Asterix in his own investigation of what the Romans are doing. | |

In Flashman, the titular coward is faced with implacable native assassins trying to hunt him down. He reasons that the last place they will look is among native soldiers in the Indian army, so Flashman grows his beard long, exploits his native-fluency in Urdu and Pashtu, and signs up, masquerading as an ordinary native cavalryman. Later, he is able to justify this as he is there on Intelligence duties assessing the likelihood of native mutiny and has realized the only way a white Englishman can accurately understand what is going on, is to get to the natives on their level. | |

Person of Interest: HR officers operate like this by wearing civilian clothes with balaclavas and using non-department weapons and gear if the situation calls for it. Throughout the fourth season, John Reese falls to this when he needs to help Finch and others conduct operations against Samaritan agents and/or to save civilians in trouble by hiding his NYPD badge from plain sight when he has to, wear a balaclava and use his own sidearm instead of the department-issued sidearm. It also helps that Reese has a false identity made by The Machine to hide him from Samaritan. Fusco falls into this also when he wears a balaclava and hides his badge to help Team Machine. |

In the second season of True Detective, Ani, Velcoro and Woodrugh operate in this ways months after the shootout in downtown Vinci by secret orders of State Attorney Katherine Davis after she found some implications one of her fellow attorneys may be in on the take with the local criminal underworld. This meant that they needed to operate without any official backing from the Attorney General's office by being "Special Investigators", which meant that they cannot be named in anyway. It helps that Ani joined in after she got suspended from detective duties in the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, Velcoro was now doing private security duties with Frank and Woodrugh was moved from highway patrol to insurance fraud in the California Highway Patrol due to the scandal with actress Lacey Lindel, which allows him to move around freely without being hounded by the media easily. It also helps that they operate in civilian clothes, which avoid any problems in easily being identified as police officers. | |

Section 9 is not the only plainclothes unit to not be easily recognized. In Stand Alone Complex, the Narcotics Suppression Squad operates as a plainclothes unit, which allows the Big Bad in the first season to use their assets to take out S9. When that fails, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces' Umibozu is called in to use its commandos in order to flush out S9 and take them all alive or kill them since they are known as a black ops unit in the JMSDF. | |

The Mountain and the Wolf: After a group of Dothraki are condemned to death for cowardice (they were supposedly too busy fighting a monster to kill wights during the Long Night), the Wolf asks to use them as a penal legion of sorts, marking their shoulders with a flame-like tattoo (as the Wolf had brought a Tzeentch-aligned Chaos Spawn against the wights, and the Chaos Gods reward bravery, he marked them with the symbol of Tzeentch for their victory). After the Wolf's treachery is revealed, he uses those same Dothraki to infiltrate the Seven Kingdoms warcamp, but because one of them is killed and the tattoo discovered, he can't use the same ruse again as the loyalist Dothraki know where to look to spot the traitors. | |

A subplot of 19-2 involves officers of the 19-2 precinct going all out to hunt down a suspect responsible for beating up one of their own in a trap. Since they cannot hunt down and apprehend the suspect because the investigation and arrest of said suspect is conducted by another department, they decide to wait until they are off-duty and are not needed in the precinct by changing out of the uniforms and wearing civilian clothes so that the suspect won't be able to call them out as police officers. | |
