Case: Harry has been an officer in the police department of his small city for a year. He has seen many violations of department policy: squad car teams pulling over on lonely streets and sleeping during evening shifts, officers receiving hush money from gamblers and dope pushers, officers conducting sexual commerce with women in the station house while on duty, and sergeants and lieutenants spending whole shifts at home and altering duty records to cover their absences. Harry is seriously considering turning these men in, but he is confused about where his loyalty should lie.
