Abstract

This article analyzes the possibilities that the police hierarchical superior has to supervise and punish the misconduct of his subordinates in charge. It is argued that the existence of an environment of constant changes of chain of command holders favors both the taking of the police institution by legal and illegal actors, and the emergence of a state of uncertainty about how the chain of command will be shaped in each change of police chief, which favors in the hierarchical superiors attitudes and dispositions of tolerance towards the bad conduct of their subordinates.
