Understanding Systemic Police Corruption

Retired Police Lieutenant Samuel Clark has over twenty-five years of law enforcement experience. He has investigated incidents ranging from harassment to homicide. As a police supervisor, Clark worked in the patrol division, investigative division, and administrative division of the police department. He's an expert in police procedures and police internal investigations and discipline. Clark has consulted not only citizen complainants of police misconduct but also police complainants of police misconduct in New Jersey across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. During his service, Lieutenant Clark was also a victim of police brutality. He has written numerous official complaints about violating citizens' constitutional rights by the Newark Police Department in Newark, New Jersey, the only supervisor in the entire department to do so. In 2014, a United States Department of Justice Investigation into the Newark Police Department proved that what Clark complained about was true. He was also the only supervisor in the entire police department to complain about the unlawful termination of a police officer. Fourteen years after making official written complaints about that unlawful termination, a verdict from a federal jury proved Lieutenant Clark was telling the truth. He has also complained about arrest quotas, racial differential treatment, corruption by high-ranking police supervisors, and other severe acts of corruption. Much of the information in this book is drawn from Lieutenant Clark's personal experience with policing and filing numerous complaints about corruption committed by high-ranking police supervisors. Hopefully, the facts revealed in this book will help promote the sweeping changes necessary for policing and the so-called criminal justice system.
