SS.OC Su Months........... $4.00 Law Officers Are Human The time has c;me for Americans to understand-and ap preciate-the humanitarian nature .7 the law enf.rcement pro fession. Obviously, there is much the police officer does that is distasteful to many. Depriving people of their liberty, even by lawful arrests, is rarely regarded as an endearing human act. The intensity of vig rous and penetrating in vestigations is likely to offend even those persons inter viewed though they have no complicity with crime. The urgency and directness of many la» enforcement inquiries necessarily fracture the social amenities some people would Like to receive. Hence, it is not surprising that the actions of law en forcement personnel in their performance of Aity flen arouse criticism. But the officer has no alternative-he must carry out his legal duties. He must enforce the laws of the land so that all of us can enjoy the benefits of liberty and justice. Far too frequency, I regret to say, the human qualities of these men of the law are overlooked. . . or deliberately denied. In my more than 30 years in the law enforcement pro fession I have koown thousands of officers. They are not cold ogres, inhuman automatons, brutal sadists. No, they are human, they have emotions they possess a deep and abiding concern in their fellow man. If citizens could see the officer of! duty they would realize that he enjoys Lis family and children, be is a good neighbor, he faces the sicknesses and tragedies of life like all of us. Inconsiderate words or deeds by citizens can offset ....and undercut, the countless acts of genuine compassion winch these officers perform daily for their ccmmauties. Is there ever an hour in the day when an officer does not risk tis life for a fellow citizen? How many times has be helped the needy, the sick, and those who are acc.dent victims'’ How many times Las be consoled the brokenhearted... shown kindness tc tbe despondent...calmed the distraught I would very much like for Americans to look jpx their police as friends, .as men and women »be are human, compassionate, and :¡'•■ripr-1a-.rhnf .In our democtauc society tbe officer of tbe law is not to be feared...but respeited for his ability, his fairness, and his Lumaasces s. This is tbeld.-.d of officer we have today. Clarence M.
