This article focuses on a study that analyzes the attitude of police chiefs toward freedom of expression in law enforcement. The purpose of this study was twofold. Firstly, to determine the attitudes of chiefs of police toward freedom of expression for law enforcement officers and secondly, to determine to what extent, if any, sanctions are placed upon police officers who engage in certain expressive behaviors. Freedom is defined here as an individual's right to exercise lawful expressive behavior. Police expression rights were categorized in accordance with the U.S. Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution's "no abridgement of the freedom of speech" to include pure speech, that is public expression and criticism; speech plus, that is participation in political and union activities and symbolic speech, which implies deviations in personal grooming and uniform regulations. |
