Supporting Police Integrity in the Philadelphia [Pennsylvania] Police Department, 1991-1998 and 2000

This study investigated police integrity in the

Philadelphia Police Department (PPD). Its primary goal was to identify

risk factors for negative police behaviors and outcomes using

information readily available to the department. Part 1, Academy and

Background Data, contains background information and academy records

data for 1,949 PPD officers from 17 academy classes for the years 1991

to 1998. Part 2, Survey Data, contains data collected in 2000 on the

attitudes of a sample of 499 PPD officers. Variables in Part 1 cover

background information, including history of misconduct and

disciplinary actions. Variables in Part 2 include measurements of

officer cynicism and attitudes toward ethical issues.
