But as the book comes to an end, it's unarguably true to say that the change he wanted did occur because all the corrupt guys were dealt with.

Sure, Steve brought down the major players in the corrupt force, but we don't know for sure that the ones left behind did things differently or were better. So, I honestly don't know if he succeeded. But Steve probably felt he succeeded in making a change for the better.

And if we are going to generally define a "good police officer", Steve wasn't one. Steve was someone with quite a good heart, but he didn't apply law strictly; he casually had drugs at home when that was illegal, and what scared him is just getting caught. However, he did his job better than any other officer who appeared within the story.
And about achieving his grand goal, he obviously didn't, and the end they all got was mostly fate. With all due honesty, changing a whole system all alone when you're just an officer wouldn't be realistic. So the end was the best result possible.

What he wanted was to change the narrative of corruption in his city and I think he achieved that, though not absolutely. I don't suppose corruption will vanish with the arrest of the top cops. The fraternity will likely replace them with another set of people. That's how corruption rolls. It's not something that can be dealt with once and for all. It's a process. But I think people like Steve will rise in the department with the appointment of a new head.
