“We often ask our police officers to take tremendous risks on our behalf, and the COVID-19 crisis is no exception.”
In a statement, UNODC, Outreach and Communications Officer, Sylvester Tunde Atere said: “Based on guidance provided by the World Health Organization, INTERPOL, and other leading international experts, these Guidelines set out practical steps that officers can take to reduce their risk of infection while working to prevent the spread of this disease and to protect the public from criminal activity.
By following the practical advice contained in these Guidelines, especially simple steps like wearing personal protective equipment, maintaining social distancing, and frequently washing hands, it is hoped that officers will be able to undertake their duties in greater confidence and safety.
