Answer:

He was interested in fighting corruption & reforming government

Step-by-step explanation:

Early in his career, Roosevelt started to combat the spoils system in the US Civil Service Commission. This changes increased the numbers of government jobs that were subjected to competitive examinations.

Later, in 1895 he became Police Commissioner of New York City. There he had strong efforts to end corruption but they were not successful. But he gained popularity by conducting nighttime patrols of the city to ensure that the police were doing their jobs.
