The law enforcement profession has found itself in a crucial quandary. Am I a cop or am I a puppet? The line of fidelity was crossed in the late 1800's when politicians were elected to serve as chief of police and/or police director. This practice further blurred the lines as politicians began seeking dispensation for friends and family members; the isms, "nepot and crony". The impact of this practice has caused many internal problems for police departments. Internal corruption is rampant and otherwise good officers are forced to sit back, remain silent, and observe the deterioration of the profession. What can be done? Individual officers need to step up and speak about the problems.
