Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) told Fox News the state of Indiana is more than ready to hire any Chicago police officers who are punished or fired for refusing to comply with the vaccine mandate.
"Our police do the hardest job in the world, and they deserve respect — not losing their pay or being fired for refusing to comply with a ridiculous vaccine mandate," Braun said Fox News in a statement.
"Indiana’s police departments are hiring now and will welcome you with the respect you deserve," he said.
"My office stands ready to help connect Chicago police officers to an Indiana police department that is hiring now and doesn’t have a vaccine mandate," Braun added. "Welcome to Indiana!"
The deadline for all city employees to submit their COVID-19 vaccination status via an online portal passed last Friday. Some of the officers who did not report their vaccination status have since been stripped of their police powers and put on no pay.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) accused the Chicago Fraternal of Police leadership of "trying to foment an illegal work stoppage, a strike, pure and simple. We're not having that."
"The police unions are not authorized to strike, it's in their collective bargaining agreement, it's a matter of state law," she continued. "What we've seen from the Fraternal Order of Police and particularly the leadership is a lot of misinformation, a lot of half-truths, and frankly flat out lies in order to induce an insurrection, and we're not having that."

Steve Scheckel, chief of police in Munster, Indiana, told Fox News departments have already seen a sizeable amount of former Chicago police officers coming to Indiana as COVID vaccine mandates are far from the only issue officers have been dealing with.
Indiana State Police have also made gestures towards Chicago police officers to join their ranks.

Sweet!
It's happening in Washington state too with all the fired state Troopers taking jobs in E. Washington red counties and cities where there is no vax mandate.
Let the blue cities burn.
Best of all: Not easily deployed back into $hitcago for “mutual aid” since there are State lines involved.
Winning!
Hope they like their beds of flaming beds of poo!
Excellent news for sure.
The biggest problem is that Chicago wants to deny them their pension
It takes years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a cop on the street. That is from a California perspective, states with a lower pay rate would probably be lower, but these agencies could save themselves thousands of dollars and time hiring these guys and gals.
More than half of the SEattle PD last year after the de-fund movement moved to FL, which easily filled up their personnel quotas.
If they resign to take a state trooper job, and state that as their reason, that problem might go away.
Some States do not allow for “testing out” of LEOs certified by other States, but instead require Academy training irrespective of prior service and certification.
A terrible misuse and abuse of “human resources” IMHO.
And that can quickly be remedied by the respective states.
In Florida, if you’re already trained and the state accepts your training, it’s a 2 week course to get certified in the state. After that, a department hires someone they got to some field training, learn the signals and codes, and all the other department specific stuff and they’re on the street.
It saves departments in Florida thousands of dollars.
Easy Peasy
PA and VA should observe and learn.
Let Chicago just TRY it; the jilted officers will be collecting triple before it’s all said and done.
Some days I wish I’d gone into the practice of Law, but I really haven’t the stomach for it.

Wow. Difficult choice. A greatful employer, lower taxes, good schools or Lightfoot with her abusive mandates, threats, coercion, and the smoking disaster that is Chicago.
I want to see Groot patrol the streets after everyone leaves.
“The biggest problem is that Chicago wants to deny them their pension.”
That ain’t gonna happen.
No chance.
