It doesn't hinder the upward and downward flow of communication any moreso than a private corporation. The fact that the police command structure is organized along military lines actually speeds the flow of information downward while allowing those at the lowest ranks to actually make decisions (use discretion) in the field, providing that is in keeping with the boundaries of the law.
