As a police officer, every call is an opportunity to have your training and your tactics challenged. Yet, call after call, officers respond with both duty and diligence. This does not, however, negate fear on the part of law enforcement professionals. There is a healthy amount of fear that is associated with the career field.

Leaving nothing to chance, skilled officers are prepared to escalate or de-escalate their tactics as necessary.
