The Nevada Assembly will consider a bill that would open the ranks of police officers in the state to noncitizens who are eligible to work in the U.S. and pass a background check.
Assembly Bill 30 reportedly emerged from a desire to expand the recruiting pool for law enforcement in Nevada.
"There’s a crisis right now going on nationally," Jared Luke, who serves as the city's director of government affairs and economic development,."It’s not just a Nevada thing, it’s not just a North Las Vegas thing, where recruiting numbers for police officers and police departments nationally have fallen."
If signed by Republican Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, a former sheriff, Assembly Bill 30 would allow noncitizens in the state to become police officers.
