Someone in policing once told me that cops hate change and do not like the way things are.

Indeed, this is not true for most officers. However, it is a sign of the perception that the law enforcement community is a seemingly very structured entity that is sometimes inflexible and resistant to change. Therefore, how do we adapt, adjust, and be creative within a longstanding institution in the United States? Throughout U.S. history, law enforcement has been the lightning rod of social change and the face of government.
