    Chicago has a rule. To work for the city in any capacity. You MUST live in the city. Police, fire, City Hall, public works. You live in the place you are tasked with protecting or serving. You can’t even live in the suburbs 1 block outside city limits.

    This is explicitly the opposite in many other places where police are specifically not allowed to live where they police. From what I understand, it’s so that there isn’t a conflict of interest enforcing rules against neighbors.
