BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): Regulating the spread of COVID-19 is contingent on everyone's concious effort to minimize their exposure and any spread. As more restrictions to daily life activities are lifted, law enforcement will remain in a higher - risk category of infection due to constant contact with the community. Providing additional work spaces to facilitate social distancing, or providing alternate work sites in the event of a work-related outbreak, can alleviate the spread of COVID-19.
