2019 MPD Year-End Report

Stay Home, Stay Healthy

On March 30^th, the Governor re-emphasized the need to continue to be vigilant with the measures that have been put in place to protect Washingtonians through the “Stay At Home, Stay Healthy” order. Additional resources have been put in place for directing complaints about businesses and crowds in violation of this order.

The RCW says: An Individual, group or business disobeying the Governor’s Executive order is a violation of RCW 43.06.220(5) (“Any person willfully violating any provision of an order issued by the governor under this section is guilty of a gross misdemeanor”.) The crime is only committed if the individual, group or business has knowledge of the specific restriction.

The City of Monroe, including the police department, will continue to communicate and educate residents on how to keep our Community safe. If there are concerns that citizens would like to bring forward, the state has provided a website at www.coronavirus.wa.gov that educates on essential businesses and provides a form to voice a concern that is then directed to the City that may require further contacts with those businesses.

It is important that 911 calls to our dispatch center are for emergencies requiring police / fire assistance. If there is a concern about individuals/groups that have gathered, you may call the non-emergency dispatch number at 425-407-3999.

The safety of our Community is the number one priority. We remain strong and ready to respond to the calls for service. Thank you for your cooperation, understanding and support as we continue “Partnering for a Strong Community”.
