Police Professional 19/6/2025 News The influence of workplace friendships on police firearm use Early police ethnographies suggest that officers are shaped by the colleagues around them. Officers’ workplace networks, including friendships, and routine day-to-day interactions are theorized to serve as key channels through which behaviors such as use of force spread. Yet, few studies have directly traced how these networks transmit force-related behaviors. To address this gap, we mapped the workplace friendship ties of more than 1,500 officers in a large US police department. We then asked whether officers’ firearm use is shaped by the colleagues they consider close friends. Longitudinal network models show that officers tend to adopt similar levels of firearm use to that of their workplace friends, even when accounting for individual characteristics and situational variables. These findings indicate that firearm behavior is shaped not only by personal attributes and work environments, but also by officers’ friendships.
