Sheriff's office to hire 350; vets get 1st shot Friday, March 31, 2006
Chicago Sun-Times
by CHERYL L. REED Staff Reporter The Cook County sheriff's office begins taking applications today for 350 corrections officer jobs, but only veterans and reservists who have recently been released from active duty can apply.
Concerned after reading a Chicago Sun-Times series that detailed how young Illinois veterans are having difficulty finding work, Sheriff Mike Sheahan ordered his staff to open hiring to new veterans and reservists returning from active duty.
"Some of those stories I read -- I can't believe that these kids fight for the country and they come back and there's not an opportunity for them," Sheahan said. "I thought: Why don't we reach out?"
