Figured I would start a new topic for those that feel the same way as I do. I'm a current PO for a suburb on the north side of Chicago. I've been on for just under two years--so yes, I am still very young..I am someone who had (still do) aspirations to be a very proactive cop and truly gain valuable experience, and move up the ranks some day. With the events that sparked so much anti-police rhetoric throughout the country, we all know just how unfairly this honorable profession has been targeted as of late. With the new police reform bill--and likely more additions of trailer bills to come, the group of cowards and clowns otherwise known as the Legislative Black Caucus have placed the final straw that broke the camel's back. I am frustrated beyond words can describe. This state will continue to push out the good citizens who have called Illinois home their entire lives, and I will be one of them...There is no hope and no future in this state. I have gone from itching to get back to work after my days off, to now I dread slapping on my vest at the start of every shift. I count the days until I can finally leave and work for a state that still supports its police, and it's the only thing that keeps me going at this point.
To those that still seek employment in a law enforcement capacity in this state, good luck to you and God speed, I truly don't think you know what you're getting yourself into. I can't imagine what this state will be like in the years to come, and I am not sticking around to find out...
Stay safe.
