Police Have ‘No Clear Playbook’ for This Election, Experts Say
Stanek says it’s important that officers serve in uniform on Election Day. “Law enforcement should be present with full transparency, as a visible presence in support of the lawful elections of our local, state and national leaders, a visible deterrent, and as a further reminder that their role is to preserve and keep the peace.” He also suggests that agencies consider assigning reserve officers or deputies to polling places instead of armed law enforcement officers.

Policing in a Time of Elections
The National Police Foundation has developed resources to address some of the most critical issues police leaders will face while providing public safety at polling locations, such as:
- A listing of the pertinent local laws (in partnership with the National Conference of State Legislators)
- Promising practices for officers and supervisors providing public safety on Election Day
- Communication strategies intended to foster interagency collaboration and inspire community trust

Heightened levels of contagion, and the associated stress and anxiety are impacting our medical, security, and behavioral health staff that work in these facilities as well as those in custody.
