I think the officer playing gambling could order other people to place bets while he remained in place watching if there was news of an ambush so he could immediately tell his friends in the casino to stay away for a while. The officials were very careful if they wanted to place a bet and would wait for the right time to come to the casino because they knew their fellow officers supervised all forms of gambling. That's why it's not easy to find where cockfighting is because only certain people are invited there.

This is the advantage of being a police because they know if there will be a raid that will happen and they can leave on that gambling place before their co-police came in the scene. It is still risky because what if someone reports them to their head? They can be fired out in an instant. That serves as a punishment because they are supposed to stop these kinds of activities, not to join them and encourage other people to do the same thing. This destroys their image as a police.

Not really, there are lots of policemen that were trapped during an illegal cock fighting raid. The raider just decided to let them go because of some agreement. The information on police activities is not shared to other departments because it is confidential.

I really don't know the reason on why cock fighting is illegal while other gambling games are still illegal. I think this is because there's an animal that is involved or harmed here.

Yeah, animal cruelty, is one major reason why cockfighting is illegal to other countries.

Yeah, they're not allowed to participate and enter the gambling premises. Whether it's cockfighting or any type of gambling activity, it's part of the public official's oath that they shouldn't engage in any type of gambling activity or else, when they're reported, they'll take a sanction.
That's for sure but it can't be stopped if there are police officers that are still gambling no matter what the rules and oath they've taken, if they're a gambler, they'll always be a gambler.

Those kind of rules are incredibly difficult to enforce as it is not as if those which due to their profession cannot gamble will actually tell everyone they are doing it, another example of this are athletes which are not supposed to gamble on matches in which they participate, with some leagues asking to not even make any kind of bet on the league or the sport at all, and yet we get to know many examples of this over the years, and those are only the ones which are caught as most likely there are many athletes which break the rules and we never find out about it.

It's part of their oath and I think that they have to accept it but we're also sure that many of them break that rule and oath that they've promised.
I also a lot of those officials that have been involved in gambling and mainly in cockfighting because it's one of the most popular type of gambling in here.
In some gambling houses, I've seen that there's a poster that they're not allowing anyone that works in the government to enter and to gamble.

Government employess are public entities. They are paid by the citizen so they should act morally. So government employee should barred themselves in gambling vicinities and the rule of not letting them to enter helps a lot. But the sad thing is, corruption is every where, the one that should implement rules and apply it are the one breaking them and restraining them. I hope any government officials or authority involved in or committing illegal stuff be publicly executed to serve as an example.
