SPVM inspections for COVID-19 public health violations
As a result, the SPVM issued 105 "statements of offence," also known as RIGs, an acronym for rapport d'infraction général.
The police service accepts tips from Montrealers on any COVID-19 public health violations they may see.
The violations can range from disrespecting sanitary measures such as wearing a mask, a lack of social distancing or a non-essential business that may have remained open despite red-zone business closures.
You can report a tip to the SPVM on its website.
