Tim Barrett 2849th Security Police Squadron There is a dedicated public servant driving that police car you see cruising the beat, but underneath the badge beats the heart of someone you may never understand unless you've walked or driven his beat. Policework begins when a motivated young person seeks to combine a vocation of adventure with service to his community. Candidates are accepted into the police academy only after passing extensive physical and mental testing, a background investigation, interviews, and a polygraph (lie detector) examination. Academy training takes place in a boot-cam- p type environment where more than 160 hours of instruction, must be passed before graduation. After being sworn in as an officer, the police candidate begins work on a probationary basis lasting from six to 12 months. Much like tenure, this probationary period is a critical time for officers. Officers are called by many titles, the most common being "cop." Their true identity will not be important unless they're killed or injured in the line of duty, or when a complaint is filed. Police officers learn new skills every day while on the job. They must be- come proficient with all the tools of their trade, from the hip pistol to local and national police computer systems. Complex procedures and tasks become routine, even instinctive. But one serious mistake can cause a criminal to go free, or a preventable injury or death to occur. Duties aren't the most glamorous. Gathered pieces of flesh at fatal accidents are the reason officers "waste" time on seatbelt violations, speeding tickets and drunk driving arrests.' Officers must investigate the worst of crimes like documenting evidence at a child's autopsy. Police officers are well educated on man's inhumanity to man they carry stale cigars (even though they don't smoke) to mask the smell encountered k old when investigating a dead body. They see suspects they've just arrested released on bail and back in the streets before the arrest report is finished. Their value is not proven by annual reports, but in their absence their worth is very evident. Decisions they make in one tenth of a second may take the courts months to rule on. City streets can shape a public servant into a hardened enforcer, so (Continued on page 8) two-wee- are their own and are not to be considered an official expression of the Department of the Air Force.
