Cops quiet during Covid

Numerous police stations across the Dandenong Ranges have reported a decrease in incidents during Covid-19.

Most stations have found they have been mainly focused on Covid-19 related issues.

Emerald Police arrested a woman on 10 August for refusing to give her details after failing to provide a valid reason for not wearing a mask.

The woman, in her late 40s, was arrested then released. She will receive a $200 penalty and will be charged with resisting arrest.

“We continue to get people not complying with the Chief Health Officer’s directions by not wearing masks, but they are few and far between,” Sergeant David Calkin said.

Sgt Calkin said it was good to see roads had typically been quiet after 8pm. He also said there had been an increase in work around mental health and he urged people to check in with their family members.

Monbulk Police also reported an increase in the number of people calling to check what they can and can’t do under Stage 4 restrictions.

Police encouraged people to check the Department of Health and Human Services website,
