Quoted from the OHA guidance

>While a police officer may have some medical training, or may even be a licensed health care provider, it is likely not a fundamental part of their job to provide direct or indirect medical care in a healthcare setting.

This seems like a strange reason to cite; every arrest is hands-on, and even a speeding ticket requires personal contact.

Aside, I'd like to mention the mayor of Portland is also it's police chief. Maybe for some reason the police in Portland would like to keep wearing masks?
