10,000 Chicago police, fire applicants given fraudulent physical exams, feds say

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

More than 10,000 applicants to the Chicago police and fire departments were given fraudulent physical exams and tests by a medical services company, authorities said Thursday.

U.S. Occupational Health performed the tests between 1999 and 2005 on applicants and employees of various city departments, federal prosecutors said in a criminal complaint filed Wednesday.

Remember, this is a city that believes only the police should own guns! It appears Chicago can't escape the legacy of this elected public official who was identified as a "high ranking made member" of the Chicago Mob by the Justice Department.
