fficer, to the chief of police. Controlling begins with the chief of police and his attitude. The chief has to make it clear that corruption will not be tolerated. Establishing rules and regulations within the department to insure that all officers conform to certain behavior will help. There should be procedures for discipline, counseling and if necessary officer trade, if he/she is suspected of or found guilty of corruption. A proactive integrity test should be in place. All police candidates should be pre-screened (background checks, drug test, alcohol testing), which will help to weed out the bad candidates from future police officer positions. The fight against corruption will be a long battle as the problems of yesterday, still remain today, with little to none improvement. Bibliography Bibliography Why Good Cops Go Bad. Newsweek, p.18.
