Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The image of the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) upon the eve of Bill Green�s election to the office of mayor of Philadelphia in November 1979 was a tarnished one. Green, many hoped, would be the man to institutionalize the reform so sorely needed by the police department defined by brutality and corruption. Green�s decision to appoint former television journalist Don Fair to the newly created post of public information officer of the PPD in 1980 seemed a step in the right direction � a move to establish a formal mouthpiece for the department and refashion its image. However the controversy surrounding Fair�s appointment merely amplified the deeply-rooted power struggles defining Philadelphia�s political sphere. This paper examines these struggles by exploring the social and cultural implications Fair�s appointment held for the police department and for Philadelphia�s city government.
