Democrats in legislature are trying to eliminate the requirement for police officers and other public safety officials to be able to read and write in English. SB 5274 seeks to "expand eligibility in certain civil service positions to allow lawful permanent residents to apply."
In the current version passed by the state senate on March 8, the English language requirement is removed. The amended version of the bill summary now reads, “Removes the requirement that applicants for certain civil service positions must be able to read and write in English.” The bill applies to applicants for the city’s police force, city firefighters and the Sheriff’s Office. Fish and wildlife officers are also included [Fox News].
Life or death can be come from understanding the officer's command. English is most common, therefore it is vital all officers be able to understand and speak English. Other languages are a useful bonus, but English is essential.
