Eliminate residency requirement for Philadelphia Police Officers. Where one lives has no bearing on job performance. Everyone has the right to live where they choose. It is unconstitutional to prohibit one's choice on where to live.
The city officials continue to ignore our demand to remove these outdated residency rules. Text this link to three people who believe that where an officer lives is a private matter. We keep pushing because this restriction limits our ability to recruit and retain the quality officers we need.

The momentum behind this push proves that our city is ready to move past outdated residency rules. Post this link on your Facebook page and text three friends who want to see real change in our hiring policies. Email your local representative today to tell them that where an officer lives does not define their service.

Ridiculous requirement. We are losing good cops to other departments because of this outdated policy.
