Question 16
Needs Grading
What role does the police subculture play in the perpetuation of police misconduct?
Selected Answer:
The strong police subculture is common in most agencies. The common theme in
academic settings is that police culture is negative, rooted in skepticism, masochism,
loyalty to other police above all else and presents an “us versus them” mentality. As
officers work alongside one another, a "cop code" develops. This unwritten code is
alleged to promote behavior in which they often hide information and implement a
code of silence designed to protect fellow officers.

Question 17
Needs Grading
What is tactical communication? When should it be used?
Selected Answer:
Simply stated, tactical communication is the ability to effectively communicate by
becoming skilled in the overt and the subtle. It allows officers to make intentions
known. This is whether or not the recipient is in a position to immediately
understand the information being relayed by the officer. Good officers can use this
ideology to communicate effectively while under tremendous amounts of stress.
The skill is critical and should be used in attempts to successfully gain compliance or
cooperation from subjects.
