    The “Big Six’ cities, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, and Detroit differ in size, age, and personality; however, they share the same problems of crime, drugs, and urban decay. Although the police departments in each of these cities face similar challenges, they know virtually nothing about each other’s department. The Police Foundation sought to address this gap. The Foundation created a questionnaire for each department that would obtain a large amount of comparative information about policies and operations of the six agencies in 1986. A member from each of the six agencies came to the Police Foundation to work together to create common vocabulary around policing and to discuss differing views on conditions and practices in police organizations. This study found that these six cities differ greatly on many fronts, including number of violent arrests, selection and entry requirements, and police vehicle accidents, to name a few. Despite these differences, it is worth noting that through this report changes have occurred in some of these departments since 1986. This study left many questions unanswered, however, it made noteworthy step in assessing the differences and similarities of police departments in the major cities and forming a more accurate picture of the state of policing across the nation.
