description This article analyzes the basic rules that direct Police practice and examines some of the main elements of the professional culture of the Police force. Special attention is paid to its sense of the group, the level of discretion utilized in its actions and the use of force. The relationship between legitimacy and authority in Police actions is also investigated. These elements are key in the decision-making process of members of the Police force when they interact with civilians. Their characteristics make up the foundation of Police practice.
