Conclusion
It is who [they are]. There is a reason
Police Officers choose a profession with low pay, horrible hours, immense
stress, non-existent holidays and a huge potential for danger. It is because
they are called to duty. They are compelled by a desire to help those in need,
to make a difference… to protect and serve” (Littles).
Individuals in the
criminal justice system deserve support from the larger society. Despite what
people may think, police officers care about the community as a whole and each
person in it. Law enforcement is a prideful and policing profession that demands
respect for their service. The men and women following this career path develop
characteristics and values that transform the officer mentally, physically, and
emotionally into a good leader. This special profession, with all of its
complexity, is not just a job but a way of life. It is a subculture that most do
not understand, but one this world will always rely on and need.
