Involved in the hobby they are invaluable. They will actually look out for providers.

Conduct unbecoming.

Tease on:
Part Two: Reports of sex, drug abuse -- and little police work
Dan Ring had an undercover car, a top-secret federal clearance, access to a roomful of sophisticated spying tools -- and an $80,000-a-year salary. For 14 years, the detective worked on his own, rarely checking in, partying with prostitutes, making deals with escort-service operators, driving the county executive's car and traveling to Mexico, Thailand and Canada. Then in October 2004, a King County Sheriff's Office captain made a discovery.

Tease off:

A deputy in King County not only saw providers, but was totally involved with one of the agency madams!  He was dealing coke and eventually married her.

It got worse. The Sheriff Dept investigated him then whitewashed it. And he ended up with his pension AND a raise to his pension. The Sheriff's office denied the FBI any info when they wanted to investigate.

Big HUGE scandal.

BTW the series of stories in the PI also documented how some cops were raping female motorists when they stopped them for speeding.

The story is ongoing too.
