Abstract
In recent years law enforcement's war against crime has led to important advancement in the training of inuestigators (specialized training), criminal intelligence gathering and information storage (computerization). The production of specific knowledge and the concentration of criminal intelligence may represent a source of criminal opportunities for police officers who are vulnerable to corruption. This paper focuses on criminal opportunities offered to corruptible police officers, and more precisely, on the use of police knowledge and criminal intelligence by corrupt police officers. Twelue cases of police corruption in the province of Quebec throughout the past 30 years are examined. Findings show that some corrupt police officers do indeed use their access to knowledge and criminal intelligence to commit corruption offenses. Such practices were found to be divided amongst cases in which the acts involved a single officer and those which required extensions into the criminal milieu.
