• Proposal would loosen residency requirements for Ill. city's police and fire chiefs (police1.com) — Aurora officials are weighing whether to let the city's police and fire chiefs live in nearby towns instead of inside Aurora, a proposal now sent back to committee for more review. Supporters say loosening residency rules could attract more candidates and speed filling the long-vacant fire chief role, while Mayor John Laesch and others question changing expectations for top public safety leaders.
