Also, there’s this misconception of what’s expected of whom. In most cases the police are asked to make sure businesses are implementing the proper administrative controls—proper signage, politely telling people to wear a mask, training their workers on deescalation, making masks available to customers who forgot their mask, etc. If an individual fails to comply with the mandate, a business (or anyone) can (but doesn’t have to) report the incident, and if the police are able to identify the person who who failed to comply with the mandate, a fine can be issued.
