From the Paper:

"Police officers, like firefighters and military personnel, offer one of the most crucial and invaluable services, i.e., protecting and serving the public. What makes police officers especially crucial and vital to society is the fact that they place their lives on the line each and every single day, with each and every single call or stop. Another element that makes police officers and police academies especially interesting is their striking resemblance to the military in general and to the military boot camp in specific. By instilling a sense of camaraderie, honesty, integrity, loyalty, and respect in police officers, it is more likely that such officers will excel at their primary duty, i.e., protecting and serving the public."
