Cops are incentivized to keep their mouths shut, and ignore the corruption within their ranks. If they bust each other, they risk losing their pensions if they embarrass the department bad enough. This is just one reason why we need to put them into something like 401k plans rather than pensions.

There need to be other incentives to get rid of the corruption, though. Cops who bust other cops are ostracized, harassed, threatened, etc. They need a good reason (and some anonymity) to report misconduct within their ranks.

How many bad cops could we weed out if each state had a yearly million dollar prize to a random cop who outed a bad apple? If they could do it secretly, even better. Call the tipline, and the tipline calls the local chief to let him know that the problem will be reported to the media if it isn't fixed. Every time that happens, the reporting cop gets an entry into the prize lottery.

There's some good reading here:

I've worried about this for quiet some time. "Sir why do you have 6 bags of half dollars and 8 bags of pennies?" Lol

"Because I get better results on both than I was with the dime bags"* :D

*Warning: Most cops don't have the same sense of humour I do, this phrase is not
recommended for use with actual cops! ;)

It wasn't until the time I googled "nickel bag" that I found out that to most of the
world the phrase has a different meaning than it does to us. ;)
