Police Corruption

Police corruption occurs when law enforcement officers abuse their authority for personal gain or reasons beyond their official duties. This can include accepting bribes, covering up crimes, or using their power to intimidate or unfairly target individuals. Such behavior undermines public trust, justice, and the rule of law, creating an environment where illegal activities may flourish unchecked. Addressing corruption involves accountability, transparent policies, proper oversight, and nurturing a culture of integrity within police forces to ensure they serve and protect the community effectively.
