The Chicago Police Department ordered a number of police officers to go through a three-step, high-pressure procedure to force vaccine compliance, according to Mike Mette, first vice president of Chicago’s largest police union.

Under Chicago’s vaccine mandate, all city workers had to report their vaccination status through an online portal by Oct. 15, and get fully vaccinated by Dec. 31 (except for those who obtained medical or religious exemptions.) Any city employee who fails to meet the deadlines will be put on a no-pay status.
