Avon and Somerset Police has received nearly 4,000 online reports of lockdown breaches from members of the public.
The nation has been on lockdown for nearly four weeks following the outbreak of Covid-19, which has contributed to nearly 13,000 deaths in the UK.
People have been urged to stay inside, other than for grocery shopping, exercise and other essential trips, in a bid to prevent further deaths and unnecessary pressure on the NHS.
At the start of this month Avon and Somerset Constabulary launched an online form for people to report lockdown breaches in a bid to relief pressure on emergency service phone numbers.
The online form is for when an individual or business has 'significantly breached the restrictions' and takes 10 minutes to fill.
Today (April 15), the force has revealed to Bristol Live that there have been 3,968 reports logged so far.
It amounts to more than 200 tip-offs from the public every day.
They will have helped the police tackle flouting of the lockdown rules, with 63 penalty notice fines now issued by the force in Bristol.
This is up from the 36 on-the-spot fines issued by police in the city up to April 8 - just a week earlier.
"In total, 63 penalty notices have been issued in Bristol and we have had 3,968 online forms submitted," a police spokesman said.
"These stats are accurate as of 8am on Wednesday morning (April 15)."
Police previously said examples of rule-breaking included 'people in groups of more than two who are not from same household, people sat outside together and eating takeaways, and groups of people in cars not from same household'.
New powers give police officers the ability to instruct people to go home or disperse and ensure parents are taking necessary steps to stop their children from breaking the rules.
If people continue to ignore officers’ instructions, they will be hit with a fixed penalty of £60, which reduces to £30 if paid within 14 days.
Repeat offenders will see their penalties double each time they are caught, and if they continue to refuse to comply police are able to arrest if deemed necessary.
Rule-breakers who refuse to pay a fine will face the possibility of an unlimited fine from magistrates.
