(The Center Square) – The president of the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police doesn't blame police officers taking up Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' offer to move to The Sunshine State. DeSantis' office announced last week they are putting up billboards in the greater Chicago area with the offer of a $5,000 bonus to move to Florida. A news release from DeSantis' office said around 37 Illinois police officers have taken the state up on the offer so far. 'Under Illinois law, foreign nationals are now able to become police officers,' the news release said.
