The Police Sixth Sense: An Observation in Search of a Theory

Police officers are said to possess a “sixth sense,” defined in terms of suspicion, fear, intuition, and even common sense.
Research and training on the sixth sense, however, lack theoretical guidance. To address this shortcoming, the author likens
the sixth sense to an experiential thinking style, which not only explains why police officers presumably have it, but also
makes it possible to know whether they even have a sixth sense at all.
