When police officers are stuck in the same department, they are more likely to adhere to the 'blue wall of silence,' limiting accountability and reform.
The research shows that 70% of Illinois officers have held just one job in their career, indicating stagnation and the challenges of changing agencies.
Policies make it costly for officers to switch departments, which fosters an environment where they cannot easily protest or object to unethical orders.
This stagnation means that if senior management has misguided policies, the whole agency is trapped, leaving little room for reform or improvement.
