Being a police officer is not merely having a job. The job becomes you.
You are a police officer, all the time. Period.
Whatever you do, whenever you do it, will be under constant scrutiny. Society has their eyes set on you and they are mighty judgmental.
If you work AND live in a small community, this is greatly aggravated, because people recognize you and expect you to behave and conduct yourself in a flawless way.
You are never truly “free”.
People have no idea what it means and feels to wear a uniform.
They judge police actions without having a hint of why we act this or that way. There are procedures and these same procedures have a reason to exist.
People are unaware of them, let alone their justification for being so, and therefore criticize the actions of the police. Everyone and their aunt knows how, why and what police should do specifically in all situations, and they will tell it to everyone (and their aunt).
For example (there are many, this is just one of them), what is seen by people as inappropriate use of force or excessive force is, a lot of times, the police officer actually restraining himself not to employ a higher degree of physical force, i.e. using sub-optimal force, being afraid of disciplinary or even legal repercussions, ending up risking his own physical integrity by not dealing with the suspect in the shortest, fastest and most effective way possible.

FOR PNP: The most hardest part of the job is the sleepless nights and risky police operations. The most enjoyable part of the job is the rank promotion and commendation.

For example, Violanti and Aron (1994, 1995) found that the top four of sixty most stressful police work events were killing someone while on duty, witnessing a fellow officer killed, being physically attacked, and seeing abused and battered children.
