Overview

The image of a police officer is often one of stoic professionalism. Years of training, a regimented code of conduct, and a commitment to serving and protecting - these are the hallmarks we associate with a well-functioning police force. However, a concerning truth lurks beneath this idealized surface. In our pursuit of a professionalized police force, we may have inadvertently sown the seeds of a more insidious problem: police brutality. This essay explores the paradoxical relationship between police professionalization and brutality. It argues that while professionalization brings benefits like improved training and discipline, it can also foster a culture of insularity, militarization, and a disconnect from the communities they serve. These factors, in turn, can contribute to an increased risk of police brutality.
