“…Approaches that have taken such a multifaceted perspective have been incorporated into line-level police culture research to develop cultural typologies. Cultural typologies were informed, in part, from taxonomies of officer belief systems (Worden, 1995) based on key early observational studies of officers in their work environments (Broderick, 1977; Brown, 1988; Muir, 1977; White, 1972). Table 1 presents a synthesis of three studies (Cochran & Bromley, 2003; Jermier et al, 1991; Paoline, 2001, 2004) relevant for understanding role orientations and outlooks toward citizens.…”

Prior research on police culture has focused primarily on line officers. This study examined culture at the upper administrative level by identifying a taxonomy of police chiefs based on their role orientations. Relevant predictors of culture types based on chief, department, and jurisdiction characteristics were also tested. Data come from a survey of 460 local police chiefs in Texas and 2013–2017 census estimates from the American Community Survey. Five groups of chiefs were observed in the data: service-oriented, peace-keeper, law and order professionals, lay-lows, and traditionalists. Having a graduate education, being an internal hire, total years of experience in law enforcement, department size, and residential instability levels significantly differentiated the groups. This study sheds insight into occupational culture from the upper administrative level of police organizations.
