To misquote Mark Twain, it is fair to say that the rumors of the death of trust for law enforcement<\/a> have been greatly exaggerated.<\/p>\n

A recently released Gallup<\/a> poll shows the Supreme Court, the medical system and Congress lagging behind the police as the most trusted institution in America. Only the military and small businesses are trusted more, with law enforcement ranking third in the poll with 85 percent of respondents saying they personally have a great deal, quite a lot, or some trust in the police. More than church, more than schools, much more than the criminal justice system as a whole, and head and shoulders above reporters and Members of Congress.<\/p>\n

The survey results have tremendous implications for police officers and their agencies.<\/p>\n
