VT Police Taking Steps to Enforce ‘Stay At Home’ Order

Police in Vermont have been given guidelines on how to enforce the state’s “Stay at Home” order, reports WCAX.

In an effort to “flatten the curve”, police have been instructed to attempt to educate non-compliant individuals or businesses and ask for voluntary compliance. Failure to comply with the order can result in up to $1000 fines per day in a civil violation, or up to a $500 fine and a possible six months in jail for a criminal violation.

These directives were given by the VT state Attorney General TJ Donovan.
