- AtlasBarfed 3y agoThey'll have different duties, like traffic cop and patrol and detective, but they are all part of the same department and most go through the same training "school". And, of course, they are all part of the same union. By subdividing into distinct departments, it is the basic divide and conquer. And you can replace departments more readily: keep the traffic and crime investigation units, but replace the patrol cops that are refusing to do their jobs.
