There have been numerous comments on this - that the officer should be arrested, prosecuted, suspended, summarily dismissed. Some of this is not possible or may not be appropriate. 1/
Further to our earlier post regarding an incident in Accrington, please see a statement from Chief Constable Andy Rhodes:

Ken tells Julia: We are now being asked to make dynamic decisions, risk assessing each situation as to whether PPE is needed. If my colleagues feel far safer wearing a mask, then let's let them wear one. Let’s procure the masks and allow them to wear them.
Chairman Ken Marsh scheduled to be on @talkRADIO with @JuliaHB1 shortly discussing policing in London and the challenges the #coronavirus crisis brings our hard-working members.

Chairman Ken Marsh on @talkRADIO. “We are getting there but I don’t think we have enough Protective Equipment. But the whole world wants what we want.” Ken emphasises importance of PPE for colleagues: “We struggle to self distance because of the nature of being a police officer.”

Unless you can keep a social distance of 2 metres or more from your colleagues and any member of the public, then we strongly recommend that you should wear a face mask in order to keep you, your colleagues and the public safe. - @PFEW_Chair polfed.org/news-media/latest…

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our @MPFed colleagues with this! Clear, practical and police focused guidance that is constant is needed here! ‘This is not an exercise’ @CityPoliceCops @CityPoliceCmsr @MHewittNPCC
Chairman Ken Marsh: “We fully endorse this position. Safety of our Metropolitan Police Officers is paramount. If officers are unable to socially distance from their colleagues - like in a vehicle on the way to a job - or the public then they should wear a protective face mask.”

“Constantly changing advice, lack of guidance and mixed messages from PHE, NPCC and HSE is nothing short of a disgrace. This is not a training exercise; this is reality and a matter of life or death," says @PFEW_Chair as we release clear safety guidance. bit.ly/3aVZFb5

Metropolitan Police officers are out there every day protecting the public - @MetPoliceUK must ensure it supplies appropriate PPE in sufficient numbers to our officers to Protect the Protectors. There has to be a duty of care #Covid19

#Police officers accept a level of risk when they join The Job. They do not accept risk for their families. Officers may get assaulted – but their families are safe at home. The difference with #COVID19 is police officers are potentially taking that risk home to their families.

If 4/5/6/7 @metpoliceuk officers are being ordered to travel together in a vehicle, how does this adhere to Social Distancing? People are meant to be at least 2 metres away from each other to protect themselves from catching #coronavirus. Police officers are not robots #Covid19
