Mayor Lightfoot wants to crack down on moonlighting cops

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Mayor Lori Lightfoot wants the city to more closely monitor the lucrative side jobs Chicago police take on when they're off duty.

Driving the news: Chicago City Council approved a new police contract earlier this fall that includes updates on issues from raises to reforms — but not moonlighting.

Why it matters: Officers who take on side jobs as security pose a risk to taxpayers, who may be liable if something goes wrong on the job.

"When you see them in hotels, bars, restaurants, other places, they look like they're on-duty police," Lightfoot told Axios in an interview last week. "And we [as a city] end up being liable in court for the work that they're doing that is not authorized by the department."
