Abstract
This study explores the relationship between police officer experience and problem behaviours using internally generated complaints and longitudinal data gathered from a large cohort of officers. Since extant research on problem behaviours has been cross-sectional and employs citizen complaints, little is known about the patterns of internal problem behaviours over time. As there is no guidance in police research for examining these behaviours across experience, the criminal career paradigm is employed. Results suggest that aggregate patterns over time parallel those of citizen complaints from this same cohort. Implications are discussed.
