Newark Police Head Out to Neighborhoods to Enforce Mayor Baraka’s Executive Order to Stop the Spread of COVID-19

Today, 150 Newark Police Officers headed out to neighborhoods to enforce Mayor Baraka’s Executive Order to stop the Spread of COVID-19.

Police are using in-vehicle public address systems, roadway checkpoints and initiating business checks to ensure compliance for community safety.

“We will continue to be out with loudspeakers moving people off the corners and streets,” Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said. “We want to save lives.“

Last week, Mayor Baraka announced a citywide shelter-in-place mandate. Police enforcement includes issuing summonses to individuals who violate the Executive Order.
