examined the stability of acceptance of COP over time in Racine, Wisconsin. Attitudinal differences among the population of officers in the Racine Police Department (RPD) were examined, to first assess how police officers’ attitudes varied on the basis of demographics-age, years of service, rank, years of school completed, marital status, and gender. Using these demographic makers, attitudinal change over time between program onset and full implementation allows further analysis.
