The Importance of Legitimacy Risk Profiles in Police

I think that we need very, very serious reform. The kind of reform I'm looking for is going to look pretty close to abolition. What your foot patrol officer is doing is fundamentally different from what an officer on like a SWAT team is doing. And so having these two groups under one agency gives you really, really bad selection effect and treatment effect for officers. So people go into patrol because they want to be like an adventuring crime fighter,. When they're on patrol, what are they trying to show that they're bosses they can do? You know, I can get drugs and guns off the street, I can arrest the bad guys."
