I reckon it takes a certain type of person and personality to be a good police officer. They ideally want people who can walk in to a heated situation and cool it down. So, natural diplomacy/peacemaking attitude over a gung-ho do-as-I-say-or-else attitude.
I suspect that there is a bit of irony in the types of people the police forces attract. Many who want to be in the police force probably shouldn’t be there. And the people who don’t want to be in the police force are probably the people who should be there.
It’s a very difficult and relatively thankless job to do and I wouldn’t want to do it. Most of the time nobody wants to see them for obvious reasons and sometimes their hard work is undone by the judiciary who just let the criminals back out onto the streets again to rinse and repeat.
