Explanation:

Before delving into the solution to the question let us take some important definitions.

What is subculture?

Subculture is a culture practice within some group of individuals that have their having beliefs or at variance with those of the larger culture.

What is Police subculture?

Police subculture is the beliefs and behaviours associated with law enforcing agencies, police in this aspect.

Ok, all that being said, is it so difficult for police officers to avoid getting caught up in the subculture because of their view on public. Since the police deal/fight with Crime almost everyday, they tend to view the public as ''untrustworthy'' and ignorant, so they have to look up to their mates for support. Also, because of the purpose of acceptance. After recruits are done with their training, in order to be accepted into the ''real police work', many that are not strong willed will have to join the subculture.

Police subculture can be divided into patrol subculture and adminstrative subculture.
