Last week, the findings and recommendations from an inquiry into the culture of the Queensland police force were handed down.

Is this type of cultural toxicity more rampant in the Queensland police, or is this something the force is struggling with all across Australia? And why do those personality types find their way into a job that clearly requires them to have a handle on these things?

Today we look at why putting on a uniform for some means responsibility, while for others, it’s all about the power.
