In an interview with a veteran line police officer in 1997, the officer made several assertions. He contended that policing “gets into the blood and possesses the spirit,” and that once you become a policeman or police woman, “you become the job and the job becomes you.” In addition, it becomes a calling, rather than a set of bureaucratically defined duties. Indeed, it is a calling remaining with officers until the day they die. This policeman also believes that civilians simply do not and cannot understand what it is like to be a police officer. In another part of his interview, he claims that “it is hopeless to attempt to describe what it is like to be a police officer to one who has never experienced it . . . there is a brotherhood and a sisterhood that go beyond words. It is an emotion, a psychic communication, a shared experience that brings officers from hundreds of miles around to offer emotional support for the family of a fallen colleague.” Furthermore, he is convinced that “the vast majority of those willing to become police officers are special people. They are the people who unanimously respond in the affirmative to the question of whether they would sacrifice their lives to save others. They are the men and women of all nationalities who represent the best America has to offer.” a. addition. b. comparison. c. time order.
