Document Summary
We are the only crime fighters we are the only crime experts. Nobody can understand policing and crime but those who have worn the badge, patrolled the streets, faced danger and arrested offenders. Disdain for academics, media, non police agencies (private security, private investigators) only respect for those who have worn the badge. Loyalty to colleagues counts above all else. Police officers have to stick together because everyone is out to get us. It is impossible to fight crime effectively without bending the rules. The media and members of the public are generally unsupportive and quick to criticize the police nobody likes the police unless they need one. Detective work is glamorous, exciting and rewarding. Very competitive want to get promoted, move up in rank, raise, status. Watch out for you partner first then the rest of the guys on your shift. Competition over who gets to take credit for solving crime.
