Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
Silver and I have a prominent role to play
To ensure that the bad guys never get away
I am found around a rectangular table
As the primary focus returns to stable
If a deadly new contagion is unrestrained
Its prevention becomes my purpose newly-gained
A composite sketch do I make hard to produce
With this my identity can you now deduce?

Answer
a masklines 1-2: "Silver" is the horse of the Lone Ranger. The Lone Ranger is a fictional radio/TV show character who wears a mask.
lines 3-4: These lines refer to the masks worn by doctors who are surrounding a patient ("the primary focus") lying on an operating table who's condition "returns to stable".
lines 5-6: If a new communicable disease such as COVID-19 arises and there is no vaccine or other cure for it, it will spread from person to person unless something such as a mask is used to prevent its transmission.
lines 7-8: A mask can serve to conceal the identity of the wearer. In the case of a crime, where the criminal wears a mask, any composite sketch by detectives may be "hard to produce" since eyewitnesses will not have seen the entire face of the perpetrator.
