LinkLinks City Paper: To Reduce Lock-Ups, MPD Agrees to Cite More People During Coronavirus Emergency By Editor On Mar 19, 2020 Last updated Mar 19, 2020 24 Share During the public health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, police are expected to give more citations for misdemeanors and some non-violent felonies during arrests, according to a Metropolitan Police Department executive order provided to City Paper. If someone is on parole, probation, or a pretrial release and arrested for a misdemeanor, they should be cited and not booked. The law isn’t changing for those who are arrested for serious felony offenses that are violent, involve a firearm, or related to drug distribution. 24 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
