An ABC News analysis of nine of the nation's largest police departments finds scattershot and randomly enforced policies around mask wearing.
Now, a growing number are calling for police officersand practice social distancing, noting that police, too, have a responsibility to help stop the spread of the virus.
Earlier this month, New York's governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City's mayor Bill De Blasio both implored officers to cover their faces. Police officers are shown on June 15, 2020, during a Black Lives Matter Protest near NYPD headquarters in New York. In Los Angeles, the Sheriff's department, which has explicitly mandated facial coverings for employees since April 15, makes an exception for a"situation where a facial covering inhibits officer safety."
Because of their interface with the public, police officers are among the members of society most at risk for infection, withAs of June 11, 537 officers in Chicago's police department had tested positive, 113 among the Los Angeles police department, and 102 among the New York state police department.
