Scope and contents

March 28, 2022
This website covidpolicing.org.au collated people’s interactions with police during COVID-19 pandemic from April to August 2020.
This report analyses 90 incident reports submitted by individuals of their Covid-19 policing experiences that were recorded on the COVID-19 Policing website between April 6 and August 1, 2020. Reports were received from all states and territories apart from the ACT, but the majority (71%) originated from Victoria, where most of the participating organisations were based.
Almost all the reports concerned complaints about police behaviour.
