[West Country]

I am wondering out of interest. What do you think is the number one personality trait a person should have to be a good cop??

I am sure we all can define it, thank you.

A strong like of dunuts don't hurt either :D

Yeah, i dunno know why i posted that either. I guess i just hear integrity mentioned so often i thought I might post an exact definition.

Should i be trying to up my post count?? Do I get a prize that I just reached 20 for example?? Ahh is that where the donuts come in??

There is a very valid reason you hear this. If you cannot trust a LEO, if they lie, cheat, scam, other than subterfuge in the line of duty, they have no right wearing the badge.

That makes sense to me. As I said before even though I knew what it basically meant after hearing it so often i thought I better officially look it up.

Wonder why someone from 'professional standards" would think integrity is so important?? Hehe j/k

The best traits of a cop are honesty, integrity, good decision making ability, compassion, common sense, being a teamplayer,.....honestly too many to name.
