Which is much better for accuracy and detail of events.…

Some police officers will do anything for extra cash and some of them fall in love with the idea of being in charge and having wealth. Police corruption is one of the many things that is keeping drug dealers and criminals on the streets. According to the Los Angeles Times Newspaper “there are 100 Police corruption cases in LA a year and most Police officers get away with it. A police officer can make up to hundred thousand on just drug money and stealing from the people they arrest” (Lait and Glover). That is extremely high for people who are trained and get paid to do the right thing and not over used their power.…

Even during this period, the officers are governed by the department’s policies, which are developed to reinforce the required ethics and standards associated with the position.

Sound conduct by police improves community interactions, enhances communication, and promotes shared responsibility for addressing crime and disorder (COPS, n.d.). As they look at the issue from an organizational strategy standpoint, they have to include all aspects of the organization.…

The first minimal strategies were internal chain and command, a system through which police organisations define lines of authority so that responsibility can be assigned at different levels and officers ordered by a commanding officer to comply with law and regulations (Prenzler, 2013, p. 62).
