The Chicago Police Department is looking for more people to apply for a chance to become police officers before the Sept. 16 deadline.
The department says about 18,000 people have started the application process since the beginning of August. "I'd love to get it up to about 30,000," Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Friday at a news conference.
"A career in law enforcement is a great opportunity," said McCarthy, who said he took his test in New York City in 1979. "And I can truly attest you never know where it's going to take you."
An open house for potential applicants will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Chicago Police Academy, 1300 W. Jackson Blvd.
