Road and freeways will be open. There will be no checkpoints, and Michigan State Police troopers won't be asking for your papers.

"This isn't martial law. It's not a lock-down. It's nothing to that extent," First Lt. Michael Shaw said of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's "stay home" order announced Monday as the number coronavirus cases exceeded 1,300 in Michigan and 15 people have died.

A violation of the order is a misdemeanor, area law enforcement officials said. The governor ordered non-essential businesses to close and advised people to remain in their homes except for essential travel, such as grocery shopping, picking up carryout food or a medical appointment.

But Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said: "there will not be any arrests."

Bouchard said if a complaint comes in about a person or a business not complying with county or state orders, a deputy would go and determine if there is a violation and advise that person or business of the orders that are in place.

The deputy would write a report to document this and forward it to the health department, Bouchard said. If a business has a liquor license, he said, the state's Liquor Control Commission could take action in the future.

"There will be no traffic stops or barricades or any of that stuff," he said. "We've got our hands full making sure our people get help. We are responding to all calls for help."

He added: "We're trying to help people understand the orders to protect themselves and their families. Stay at home unless you have an absolute necessity."

Shaw said troopers will talk with a person or business that may be in violation and educate them. If they don't comply, a ticket could be issued and a report would be generated for the state Attorney General's Office.

He said there have been no complaints or violations to date, and that people have been complying with orders.

"This isn't about us looking for people. We're not hunting down people for violating this order," Shaw said. "We're not gonna go around and count heads and what people are doing there. We will enforce the order if necessary."

Macomb County Sheriff's Sgt. Renee Yax said authorities there will handle calls as they come, "assess the incident and go from there" in regard to the governor's order.

Staring Tuesday, the Macomb County Sheriff's Office will start suspending some services for at least three weeks, according to a news release following Whitmer's announcement.

The lobby will be limited to posting bonds and adding funds to accounts of those being held at the jail. Visiting in the jail annex has been suspended and personal visits will be remote visits only. The Sheriff's Office is waiving the fee for remote visiting at this time.

The records office will be closed to the public. Those who need to make a police report are urged to to call first. If a citizen doesn't want to make a report at their home, the Sheriff's Office can arrange to meet the person. It's also possible a deputy may call on the phone to take the report, the Sheriff's Office said.

Fingerprinting and weapon purchase permits will be suspended. A pistol sales record that needs to be submitted can be mailed to the Sheriff's Office's records office.

Copies of police reports can be made through a Freedom of Information Act request and paid for online. Crash reports also can be purchased online.

In Oakland County, Bouchard said that at 3 p.m. Monday, lobbies at substations and elsewhere were closed. For minor situations, such a mailbox that was run over, reports will be taken over the phone.

Shaw said State Police services haven't changed. Lobbies remain restricted to one person at a time and citizens are being asked to request traffic crash reports from home. While traffic will be reduced, troopers will still respond to crashes, he said.

"This is a tough thing we are asking people to do," Shaw said. "We want people to stay home and stay safe."
