Police Corruption local Police departments across US studies show?

A study title "Police Corruption: an Analytical look into Police Ethics" discusses the topic of Police corruption and the detrimental aspects of Police misconduct. The study reveals that only 56% of people rated the Police as having a high or very high ethical standard. The research offers some understanding of the phenomenon in the hope of rooting out this behavior that serves to undermine the overall legitimacy of Law Enforcement. Another study shows that Police misconduct costs cities millions of dollars every year. The analysis shows that cities have spent more than $3 billion to settle misconduct lawsuits over the past 10 years. These settlements can be taxing on any city, which is generally on the hook for the payouts, and those costs can encourage cities to make broader changes rapidly, causing mistakes during the process. Reporters from USA TODAY and the non-profit Invisible Institute of Chicago spent more than a year creating the biggest collection of Police misconduct records in-recent history. These studies and records highlight the ongoing issue of corruption in local police departments across the US and emphasizes the need for continued research and reform, on this subject.
