Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara expects the active Chicaco police force to shrink by 50% this weekend as a result of the mandate.
“I can guarantee you that no-pay status will not last more than 30 days,” Catanzara said on Tuesday. “There’s no way they’re going to be able to sustain a police department workforce at 50 percent capacity or less for more than seven days without something budging.”
