But this is doxxing (publicly revealing somebody's identity without their consent), whether or not you think it is morally correct is a separate question.

publicly revealing somebody's identity without their consent

Public service workers consent when they take the job. It's part of the gig.

I literally had to sign something acknowledging my information, like my name, my salary, and my title, would be publicly available.

Exactly. And that’s all public employees, Municipal/County, State, Fed, & not just those serving as LEOs. Hell, I spent my first career as a civilian for a local county for over two decades, and routinely had to either provide my first/last name, or first name and employee ID/‘badge no.’, not a big deal. The public has a right to identify those who work on their behalf, and thus who to laud after a good interaction or complain after a negative.
