Law enforcement officers receive training, screening,
counseling, and education on a myriad of subjects dealing with contact with the
public. Here are a few: (1)A regular officer, on beat, for instance, may encounter an
irate citizen who is verbally abusive to the officer. The officer is trained not to
respond in a similar fashion, rather he should attempt to defuse the situation with
reason and patience; (2) An officer investigating a case which may include the discovery
of drugs or lots of cash must rise above the tendency to abscond with any of it; he is
required to take possession of it and turn it over to the property or evidence room at
the stationhouse; (3) The use of deadly force is legal by law enforcement only if an
officer reasonably believes that his life or another person's life is in serious danger;
(4) Entering someone's house to search without a warrant in a non-emergency situation is
illegal. In each of these instances, (and there are many, many more that officers face)
law enforcement agents know that there may be dire consequences. Taking a chance on the
wrong side of the issue is not just a matter dealing with legality; it is also a serious
matter of ethics.
