Police corruption is a major problem in the United States, where some police officers turn bad to make money from drug deals, or career advancement, while many more try to cover up their own acts of brutality, murder and torture.
In terms of public trust for law enforcement, recent polls show that only 56% of people rated the police as having a high or very high ethical standard as compared with 84% for nurses. (Nurses get an "A", Police get an "F")
Great strides have occurred in the law enforcement profession over the past decade; however, unethical conduct by the nation's police officers continues to occur every single day in departments large and small.
Police corruption is; without a doubt, the United States largest problem.
