c.  Officers adopting such attitudes also develop an "us against them" mentality
                                in dealing with the public.

                      III. Dealing  with  human  misery  on  a  regular  basis  also  leads  officers  to  shut  down
                             emotions, which negatively affects the public's view of them.

                             a.  Public  perceptions  are  skewed  by  unrealistic  film  and  TV  portrayals  of
                                police work.
                             b.  Officers must constantly evaluate how their demeanor and decision-making
                                processes come across in the communities they serve.
                             c.  Police  officers  are  viewed  differently  than  other  professionals  because  of
                                their authority role.

                   The Effects of Being a Police Officer


                  The work of a Police Officer has many effects in the society, specaillity in their families.
                  The demands of fitting into a particular department's culture make it hard for officers to
                  balance work and family commitments.  One important effect an officer is that may still
                  feel  the  need  to  exert  control  at  home  and  the  long  hours  diffult  the  balancing  a  law
                  enforcement  career's  demands  with  parental  responsibilities  forced  officers  to  miss
                  birthdays, school activities and other significant milestones of family life.
                  An another effect is that the social insolation is a common outgrowth of police work. Police
                  officers most commonly associate with other officers, because they feel uncomfortable in
                  non-law  enforcement  settings.  Officers'  spouses  and  children  are  bound  by  similar
                  unspoken  rules.  Over  time,  officers  adopting  such  attitudes  also  develop  an  "us  against
                  them" mentality in dealing with the public.ocial isolation is a common outgrowth of police
                  work.
                  A third outcome of a Police officer dealing with human misery on a regular basis also leads
                  officers  to  shut  down  emotions,  which  negatively  affects  the  public's  view  of  them.  In
                  consequence public perceptions are skewed by unrealistic film and TV portrayals of police
                  work and police officers are viewed differently than other professionals because of their
                  authority role.
