Chicago Police/ Marine Corps Reserves?

Question

My question is, is if im in the Marine Reserves and i want to be a cop at the same time can i do that? i mean if i got deployed what would happen to me on the police force? just any info would be good

Answer 1

I am a retired Marine reserve. One of my friends was in the Chicago Fire Department and a Marine Reserve. He retired from the Corps with 40 years service. Later her retired from the Fire Department. Chicago must have some kind of system for that. I was with another Police department but they too made provision for me to go deployed. Good Luck and Semper Fi.

Answer 2

Ask the department. There are plenty of officers in the reserves, and I'm pretty sure your job will be held for you while you're away.

Answer 3

They can not discriminate against you.  We have many guys that have been deployed and there is not a problem.
