No, it's a number based on geography, i.e. based on whatever district, or division the guard is based. If they transfer, the number changes and is recycled.

An arresting Garda's long number/badge number would be on your copy of a charge sheet if you are ever unfortunate enough to receive one. They are not in the public realm otherwise, and no need for them to be.
