What are the different types of police corruption? What themes run through the findings of the Knapp Commission and the Wickersham Commission? What innovative steps might police departments take to reduce or eliminate corruption among their officers
?
• Various types of police corruption were described including: "grass eating," officers who accept small bribes and free services by those wishing to avoid legal problems; and "meat eating," much more serious forms of corruption, such as officers who actively seek illegal moneymaking opportunities through the exercise of their law enforcement duties. Ethics training was mentioned as part of a reframing strategy that emphasizes integrity in an effort to target police corruption. Also discussed was an NIJ report that focused on enhancing policing integrity. The report noted that a police department's "culture of integrity" might be more important "in shaping the ethics of police officers than hiring the ‘right' people."
