Illinois whistleblower police officer placed on leave

10. Are police whistleblowers safe?

I heard a story of a young police officer who reported some misconduct he saw from his fellow officers. He was harassed, found a dead rat on the hood of his car, plus when he called in for police backup, no one showed up for him. He was scared for his and his wife's safety, so he quit and moved out of state.

There is a serious problem within the police force where loyalty to each other is more important that enforcing and protecting the law. Very serious work must be done to fix that culture.
