In which way do the police resemble the military?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The organizational style of the police is authoritarian, similar to the military. Both institutions have a strict hierarchical structure, with orders coming from top-down, and officers expected to follow them without question. This is unlike many civilian organizations that have a more horizontal structure with more shared decision-making. While the other options may also be true in some ways, they are not specific to the police-military comparison.
