I'm surprised that I hadn't heard of this until this morning... wonder what folk will think.  :mellow:

 

New california law allows non-U.S. citizens to become police officers

 

"Prior to Jan. 1, 2023, you had to be a United States citizen or permanent resident to qualify for the job.  Now, that's no longer the case. Anyone who is legally authorized to work in the state of California, under federal law, with the proper green card or visa, is eligible to become a police officer."

As long as they are here legally and jump through all the same hoops as other police officers (age, training, background, education)  I really don't have a problem with it.  Resident aliens can already buy guns and get driver's licenses.

Since they are here legally and have to meet all other existing standards I have no issue with it. 

 

It does speak to the recruiting issues that more and more police departments seem to be having in the past 4 or 5 years.

Legal resident with work permit?  Why not?  Likely have more respect for and knowledge of both the law and the Constitution than our legislators.

I bet the Chinese are already thinking about how they can take advantage of this one.  Fortunately I haven't left anything in California so it shouldn't have an impact on me, for now.

Resident aliens can serve in the U.S. military. I'm not sure this is so different.

Looks to me like California has more thorough background checks to buy guns than they do to hire cops?

How exciting!
Now, we can be pulled over get a ticket, be sold a packet of fentanyl then offered a choice of the young girls he is offering in his cruiser.
