A Culture of Rewarding the Wrong Things - October 2017
“Get out of the field as soon as you can, kid, if you want to have a career in this Department.” These are the words that I heard while on probation. “You stay out here any significant time and you’ll be explaining your complaints and lawsuits for the rest of your career.” These are the same words that many others have heard during their time in the field. And if they did not heed the words of caution, perhaps the reality of working the streets may have taught them this very lesson.
