Abstract	Research on the police personality suggests that, although most individuals entering police work are idealistic, service-oriented and outgoing, by about the fifth year in the profession some officers tend to develop attitudes that are cynical, defensive, alienated, authoritarian, and often racist. The question is, “Why does the policing environment negatively impact some officers and not others?” Past research has attempted to address this question through the use of cross-sectional research designs. Prior research has also tendedto, ignore the race and gender of the officers and has only rarely linked measures of attitude to behavior. In sum, the three most prevalent criticisms of previous research have been the use of crosssectional rather than longitudinal designs, failure to link attitudes to behavior, and failure to address the differing effect of the policing environment on men and women. The purpose of this project is to continue expansion of the existing research on the questions of both the existence and the development of the police personality. Additionally the project investigates the differences in the personality brought to policing by males and females, while testing for the effect of the police environment on males and females. It is too early in the data collection stage of this research to attempt an answer to the pressing issue concerning patterns of behavioral effect on policing officers as a result of exposure to the policing environment. Thus the scope of this paper is limited to a description of the changes in personality which are occurring in a panel group of police officers.
