Police corruption is a complex mystery that generally falls into two groups: external corruption, which concerns the police and the public; and internal corruption, which concerns police officers and police services. Police corruption happens all the time. “Corruption is the illegal use of authority; behavior that abuses one's power and honesty and usually involves corruption” (White).
