Currently federal law forbids non-US citizens to serve as police officers and as deputies. However, a bill recently singed into law by the Governor of Illinois will do just that. HB 3751 will allow eligible foreign nationals to become police officers. Critics argue the bill allows individuals who are actively breaking the law to become enforcers of the law. Supporters of the bill say it will help with Illinois' ongoing police officer shortage.
