In the development of police officer authoritarianism, importation variables do not appear
decisive. Police recruit authoritarianism is no different from that of fire service recruits with a
similar background. Initial training, however, depresses authoritarianism despite the
unambiguous emphasis in training on law and discipline. Finally, experience of on‐the‐beat
policing leads to a dramatic increase in authoritarianism in a traditionally policed area with a
high crime rate, but not in a low crime rate area with an emphasis on community policing.
