Police chief says he expects cops to exercise judgment in enforcing curfew

About four hours before a nightly curfew to combat the spread of the coronavirus takes effect in 40 infection hotspots, acting police chief Motti Cohen concludes a briefing and says he expects officers to exercise judgment while enforcing the closure.

“Our enforcement policy will continue to be based first and foremost on dialogue, education, judgment and earning the public’s cooperation,” he says.

“That is my expectation from every commander and officer tasked with this mission.”
