Police work is not nearly as dangerous as television shows and news accounts make it out to be. Individualism is an important strength of a law enforcement officer. It is more important to me to become a team leader than to stay a team member. There are some items I would change about myself if I could. Gaining the trust and respect of fellow officers is one of the most important aspects of being in law enforcement.
Police work is a very dangerous profession.
I compromise to avoid problems, even when I am right. If the police were given more authority then the crime rate would go down. I became interested in police work through exposure to active police officers. I like to argue my point of view and try to convince people that I am right. I avoid conflict in the workplace at all cost.
