Elvin Brinker: A Fictional Narrative

Improved Essays
Even Elvin Brinker, a cop who’d been on the force a year longer than Dutch and Hunter, had his say even though he had yet to make detective. “He’s a nuisance. Hunter doesn’t know when to call it quits. I suppose you could consider his persistence as an asset in this line of work, but men like him end up beating a dead horse until it turns zombie and gallops away.” DK laughed at Brinker’s comment. “You’re skillful at talking crap. You should apply for a job at The Crier,” an up, and coming rag tag free circular that came at the first of the month.
“Let’s see where that’ll get him.” Kershaw placed a file on his desk, retrieved his coat from the rack, and walked to the exit.
Without knowing, DK passed Sloane out front. He got soaked while he was

    The source of this culture lies with the informal influence of peers, especially during the officer’s early experience of patrol. Typically, the ‘rookie’ is advised to forget everything taught during training and to learn how policing is really done on the street. The loyalty of rookies to their peer group is often tested by exposing them to minor misconduct and by enticing them into committing minor infractions (such as ‘easing’ in ‘tea-holes’; Cain 1973), before inducting them into more serious and systematic wrongdoing. Peers are also a source of excuses that neutralize moral and legal deviancy (Kappeler et al. 1994). While widely accepted and employed in research and commentary, some conceptual and empirical issues arise concerning police…

    Police Subculture Essay

    • 1375 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The accepted definition of police subculture is described as a particular set of beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors displayed by those who work in the field of law enforcement. Such values are typically shaped by the experiences that police officers underwent along with many other factors, such as the partners that they worked with, their leaders, and the criminals that they faced. Although, since most of the time that law enforcement officers spend is involved in trying to control crime, it has made the police become wary of the public and has caused them to develop an “us versus them” mindset (Herbert). There is also the “blue curtain” or the “blue wall of silence,” which is something of a code of silence among the police and it only serves…
