Abstract
This chapter is an ethnological examination of a police officer, the police culture, and the type of individual that makes up the “good cop.” Through the lens of over 30 years' experience as a police officer in both small suburban and large city police departments, the author hopes to provide some insight into his experience. This chapter will most likely not affect anything institutional but may change the individual's view of police officers in the future.
