description In this project the interrelationships among three attitudes - police cynicism, job satisfaction, and work relations - for police chiefs have been examined. Chiefs were contrasted along the dimension of department size. Data were derived from survey questionnaire responses of 574 of 771 Illinois police chiefs (74.4 percent). Our findings point to important differences with regard to these attitudes for rural and urban chiefs. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings for future research.
