[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1879146, member: 94491"] thanks to you all for your service-- I can only comment from the "outside" here in CO-- but El Paso County released a news brief a few weeks back that their officers were to limit person to person contact as much as possible, they have gone to "cold accident reporting" (which means if no injuries, no drugs or alcohol are suspected then the people need to fill out an online report rather than an officer at the scene), detectives are doing as many online and phone interviews as possible, some officers are mandated to wear masks in certain situations, 911 calls now have the dispatcher asking about coivd-19 symptoms, traffic stops are now having the officers have you hold your documentation out the window and the officer takes a picture of it so they dont have to touch your documents and no signatures are requested or required on violations -- they write "coivd19" in the signature line of the violation, all community events and programs have been suspended/cancelled , the county and state patrol are showing a pronounced presence yet seem to be only pulling over the really stupid people (thats my personal opinion just from my observations of them on my way to/from work), the state patrol officers are now allowed to wear "wash/wear" uniforms rater then their normal (dry clean only) uniforms-- there are reports of officer/police impersonators doing "traffic check points" mainly due to the more recent increased use of state patrol unmarked cars and lack of typical uniforms though. The county jail has released some of the inmates with "lower level infractions" and waived some of the bail/bond fees to get the jail population levels down in the local jail system-- also the county court has postponed all "non- speedy trial deadlines" and civil trials for the time being -- some of the jury summons were lifted El Paso county just recently had a 41 year old deputy (Jeff Hopkins) that died from contracting the virus in the line of duty (working intake/release at the local county jail at the time he contracted the virus, he was in direct contact with other officers that had tested positive for the virus) [/QUOTE]
