Personally, I would like people to take our role in protecting the population more seriously.

The payment isn't good enough, considering how dangerous some days could be.

The budget. Knowing we could make a real difference if we had the resources is a daily source of frustration.

I would love to change public perception of law enforcement, we get a bad rap because of a very tiny minority who have no business being police and are undeserving of the badge. I want to remind everyone that police are there to help. Unfortunately a lot of people don't believe that nowadays. ACAB? Give me a break. Not even close to being true.

It would be great if we were able to expand into more community outreach types of activities, visiting schools and the like. Children really need to see police as their friends, and that's becoming increasingly difficult in the current atmosphere.

Better pay and benefits. Unfortunately it seems like the opposite is coming down the pike.

No answer, any insight into why?
