Mask-less NYPD Officers will be fined and investigated

No NYPD officers have been fined, by department officials, for failing to wear face masks despite receiving more than 150 complaints, the NYPost Reported 

The Mayor’s office recognizes the problem and will finally enforce the mandate after months of pressure from the public and city officials, regarding the issue. 

“We are taking important steps to reinforce the mandate that all officers must wear masks and enforce appropriate discipline for non-compliance,” City Hall spokeswoman Julia Arredondo said. 

Arredondo stated that any documented non-compliance would be investigated and disciplined. 

NYPD officials will begin handing out masks at every roll call and continuously remind their officers to wear face coverings during tours. 

Last week, Mayor de Blasio said maskless cops would face penalties but didn’t follow through with the statement. 

“They are required to wear face coverings at all times when performing duties in public areas and Department facilities, and whenever social distancing is not possible,” NYPD officials told members of the department on Friday as they issued an administrative bulletin.
