ABSTRACT
This chapter continues to point up the different perspectives, or the situational perspectives, of both street cop and management cop cultures as well as how each of the participants in this struggle for control is not able, or able only in part, to evade the controls of the other. It shows how street cop culture can, to some extent, effectively sabotage management cop culture. The chapter is concerned with imposition of conventional management controls, practices concerning "gift" taking and its relation to corruption and the relevence of the department's integrity system as viewed by the street cops. It points to career path issues and problems in a system where everyone at the lowest rank is a "cop," but not everyone does the same job. The good natured tone is completely gone, however, when the officers talk about the pay difference between themselves and the police officers who have been awarded a gold shield as detective specialists.
