Multiple Choice

Summary A
The police culture or subculture consists of a combination of values and norms unique to police officers. One of the major parts of this subculture is loyalty. For police officers, loyalty means backing up and supporting your fellow officers. In this case, allowing your partner's version of what took place is your way of demonstrating the loyalty you have for your partner. Because your partner is willing to seek out help to address the stress he is experiencing you feel it is appropriate to allow his version to stand. Of course, it is possible that this slightly different version may be uncovered, but you believe your partner and preserving the trust in your relationship is worth the risk.

The police culture or subculture consists of a combination of values and norms unique to police officers. One of the major parts of this subculture is loyalty. For police officers, loyalty means backing up and supporting your fellow officers. In this case, focusing on the issue of stress allows you to be loyal to your partner and also to assist him in getting the help he needs. Because your partner is willing to seek out help to address the stress he is experiencing you feel it is unnecessary to address what happened during the arrest. Of course, your lieutenant may press the issue and you will have to make a choice as to what to say. It is also possible that, because the incident was not discussed, he may be less inclined to follow through on assistance to deal with his stress which could result in another negative event in the future.
