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.
