The Las Vegas police union is at odds with the NFL over controversial ID policies

A major Las Vegas police union is feuding with the NFL over one of its new credentialing policies… and if the matter isn’t resolved soon, it could mean major headaches are on the horizon for the Raiders.

According to Steve Grammas –the chairman of the Las Vegas Police Protection Association — Roger Goodell‘s org has implemented a new set of protocols for police members working games this season … and Grammas says he’s having issues with it.

Specifically, Grammas says The Shield wants officers to submit biometric data — including a photo of themselves — into an app to get permission to do their jobs in specific areas of Allegiant Stadium.

“They’re going to take your biometrics — your face,” he said in a video sent to Vegas police this month, “and they’re going to use it anyway. And they’re going to expand that. to their NFL family affiliates to use your information as necessary.

Grammas says this could pose major problems for law enforcement. He claims the data “could end up in the hands of people who are anti-police and who support an agenda other than what public policy supports.”

Grammas recommended the competition stick with its old policy of simply issuing officers wristbands or proxy cards.

For now, says Grammas TMZ Sports Police are still going to Raiders home games – starting with their game against the Cowboys this weekend – because submitting their biometrics is not yet a requirement.

However, he said that if the policy is officially implemented by the NFL…he will advise his police department to stop working the games – an issue the Raiders would certainly like to avoid this season.

So far, Grammas says attorneys on both sides are in discussions to resolve the issue, but there is no resolution yet.
