Experience doesn't make cops good. A good cop with experience is better at being a good cop, but a bad cop with experience is better at being a bad cop.

Furthermore, I think good cops may be corrupted with time, but bad cops are never redeemed with time. So all else being equal, I expect experienced cops to be more corrupt than novice cops, and more effective at being corrupt.
