NYPD Asks Civilians To Volunteer For De Blasio’s COVID-19 Checkpoints

The New York Police Department is calling on volunteers from its civilian staff to help enforce the state’s new quarantine order for travelers, which will check every sixth or eighth car entering the city and randomly stop people using mass transit.

The off-duty “volunteers will be assigned to Penn Station or Port Authority Bus Terminal,” said a memo sent out to NYPD members, the New York Post wrote. “The civilian members of the NYPD who volunteer will be charged with collecting forms from out-of-state travelers and ‘reminding’ them of the mandatory 14-day self-quarantine.”
