From Chicago\u2019s WGN:WGN Investigates has learned a coordinator from the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) sent an email to a dozen police officials from Kankakee to Barrington asking them to ask members of their specialized units whether they would be willing to respond to critical situations in Chicago \u2013 and how quickly they could get there.\u201cTo be clear, if members of the ILEAS Special Teams programs are requested, it would be for emergency situations, NOT for routine police assistance and the answering of calls for service within the city limits.\u00a0 Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff\u2019s Office would be tasked with the patrol needs,\u201d the email read\u2026The Cook County Sheriff\u2019s department already works with Chicago police in some targeted high crime neighborhoods.\u00a0However, Cook County only has 300 sworn officers so their presence wouldn\u2019t come close to filling the void that could be created if Mayor Lightfoot follows through on her threat to suspend the thousands of Chicago officers who had still not reported their vaccination status as of Monday afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0One department has already refused. Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain told WGN he would not send his deputies to the city because of the political agendas of Mayor Lightfoot and Cook County State\u2019s Attorney Kim Foxx. \u201cI will not send my personnel to Chicago unless an officer is under direct duress because I cannot support this slanted agenda,\u201d he said. \u201cI also will not allow my deputies to be subjected to use of force in the City and be under the prosecutorial jurisdiction of the Cook County State\u2019s Attorney.\u201dThe city of Chicago is in danger of a significant police shortage as the city\u2019s police union clashes with Mayor Lightfoot over the city\u2019s vaccine mandate. All city workers were ordered to submit their vaccination status by Oct. 15, and unvaccinated workers were ordered to submit to twice-weekly COVID testing, on their own time and at their own expense, until December 31, when all city workers would be ordered to be fully vaccinated. Failure to submit vaccination records and failure to submit to testing would result in the individual being placed on unpaid leave. To date, only 64% of the Chicago Police Department, around 8200 people out of 12,700 total, have submitted their vaccination status to the city. Of those, just under 6900 reported that they were vaccinated, just over half the total number of employees, while some 1300 were not vaccinated. The President of the Chicago Police Union, John Catanzara, has told officers to \u201chold the line,\u201d saying he believes the city has no authority to mandate medical records or vaccination. The city and its police union are currently in the process of suing each other over the vaccine mandate.\u00a0Lightfoot was adamant that the number of non-compliant officers was low and that the city had contingency plans in place. \u201cI don\u2019t engage in a lot of hypotheticals. Obviously, we have contingency plans in place for some time,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing is the number of folks who are after being given the opportunities and direct order saying no is very small. I\u2019m not seeing that there is going to be any disruption in our ability to keep our neighborhoods safe, we have to keep plugging away at this that will play itself out over the next couple days.But to date, the mayor has already stripped 19 officers of their police powers and has cut back on officers\u2019 ability to take time off in the wake of the expected shortage, which according to Catanzara, could be as much as 50% of the force.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
