Chicago Police Department restricts time off for officers after vaccine mandate deadline, CNN affiliate reports

A day after Chicago police officers were required to disclose their Covid-19 vaccine status or risking losing pay, the city's police department issued a memo informing officers elective time off is restricted, according to a copy of the memo obtained by CNN affiliate

"Until further notice, the use of elective time by sworn CPD members is restricted. Furthermore, the use of elective time will require prior approval from the Deputy chief or above within the requesting member's chain of command," the memo obtained by WLS reads.

The memo was issued Saturday to all sworn officers and was to be read at all CPD roll calls for five consecutive days, WLS reports.

The restrictions come as up to half of Chicago's rank-and-file police officers could be placed on unpaid leave because of a dispute between their union and Mayor Lori Lightfoot over the city's requirement city employees be vaccinated and disclose their vaccine status.

Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara has spoken out against the mandate to report vaccine status, telling officers they are not required to comply, and the police department has its own Covid-19 policy.

Maybe these officers need to start offering private security services. The need is probably only going to grow.

That dipshit Liberal Lesbian Licker Lori Lightfoot is so far over her head she is creating a ticking time bomb in Chicago.

If they shoot around 5 politicians the narrative will change. Just saying. I’m not in Chicago and will never be in shitcago. However my observations appear sound.

In third world shit-hole countries it’s usually the security forces that change power.

I expect the lightfoot strain will soon strike.

How would you like to be a cop with no backup? I think I’d be sick if I was jabbed or not, it might be better for my health if I was.

I agree. Any police officer who can possibly retire, or quit and relocate, should do so.

Chicago seems to want itself to go to hell. Let it.

Screw it. Wait until next day. Write a report. Take it to the station. No more trying to be heroes and saving lives.

They’re still thinking that they know where the money is.
