<p>The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) have published an analysis of the disproportionality
of fines issued via a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN), for breaching the new public health
regulations to control the spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19) which can be found here:

presented in this report covers such fines issued between 27th March and 25th May
2020. The data shows that the disparity rate for individuals of a Black, Asian or
Minority Ethnic background was 1.6 times higher than White individuals.</p><p>We will
continue to work extremely closely with the police as we have throughout the pandemic.
We are clear that no one should be subject to police enforcement on the basis of race
alone and we work with forces and the NPCC to address disproportionality in policing.</p>
