Want to be a Chicago Police officer? Now’s your chance.
CHICAGO (AP) — Want to be a Chicago Police officer? Now’s your chance. The city plans to hold Chicago’s first police entrance exam in four years. The move is part of efforts to ease a severe shortage of officers. A spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Human Resources on Tuesday said the Daley administration has asked four firms to compete for the right to administer the exam. They’re supposed to respond by Oct. 8. Meanwhile, the chairman of the Chicago City Council’s Police Committee wants to dump the requirement that applicants be required to complete at least two years of college. Alderman Anthony Beale tells the Chicago Sun-Times that changing that requirement would level the playing field for minorities and increase diversity in the police ranks.
