Leaders And Law Enforcement At Odds Over COVID Vaccine
Newsy
There's a looming crisis for the country's public safety arms as agency leaders plead with employees to simply get the shot.
Fights over COVID vaccine mandates are leaving police officers and firefighters around the country off the job.
In Chicago, more than a dozen officers are already stripped of police powers for refusing to report their vaccination status to the city. Up to a third of the city's 12,000 officers could be in violation of the requirement.
"This is really an upside-down world," said John Catanzara, president of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police. "We should not be doing this to our members. And the ones that are partaking in this process will never recover their reputation."
