An Indiana police department is trying to lure Chicago officers who refused to follow the city’s vaccine mandate

An Indiana police office is attempting to poach Chicago cops declining to conform to the city’s immunization command. 

In August, Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago reported that all city workers, including 12,000 cops, should proclaim their immunization status by October 15. 

Those that won’t announce their status will be set on a “no compensation” status, and that officials who proclaim themselves unvaccinated should be tried double seven days, she said. 

Presently, a police office in the adjoining state is expecting to draw displeased officials into its positions.

As of Tuesday, around 2,000 officials are yet to announce their immunization status, Chicago police director David Brown said, as indicated by ABC News. 

Brown added that 21 officials have so far been remained down from their obligations and denied pay for not uncovering their immunization status. 

Some Chicago officials have stood up against the order. 

A Chicago part of the Fraternal Order of Police, one of the biggest police associations in the US, said Lightfoot’s command was illicit on the grounds that she didn’t counsel them. 

“Those things are an adjustment of your business strategies. You need to haggle with us what that resembles. The city has wouldn’t do that,” FOP President John Catanzara said, per CBS Chicago. 

On October 15, Lightfoot said the city had documented an injunctive objection against the FOP, saying that Catanzara was “taking part in, supporting, and empowering a work stoppage or strike,” the Chicago Tribune revealed. 

Michael Mette, a FOP first VP in Chicago, compared the deadlock among Lightfoot and the FOP to “The Hunger Games” motion pictures, the Tribune detailed.
