A large part of the problem are cops who linger in desk duty or other administrative limbos for years, often drawing their max salary while filing. The residency requirement stipend is a joke. All city employees are bound by that. If they gave it to the cops every union in the city would go for it. In the middle of a recession with a broken budget? Catastrophe. Meanwhile Weis and Daley are looking to privatize law enforcement. http://www.suntimes.com/news/cityhall/1489486,daley-jody-weis-private-security-032109.article</p>
