Question
Do you think police work is any stressful than other profession?
Do the advantages of proactive ppolicing outweigh the disadvantages?

Answer
Alice, thank you for allowing me to help you in the field of criminal justice.

First of all, police work is extremely stressful when dealing with the unknown. Every call could be your last call. That says it in a nut shell.Its unfortunate that our job is to help people when the people you are trying to help do not appreciate the effort. I love helping people but there are times when their help is worn out. Constant changes in laws that deter how you can properly do the job hurts alot too.

Good second question.
I have seen alot of proactive work and I am still not completely sold on it. Yes, again I say, those that want help and appreciate the help they receive is a good sign that proactive policing works. Then you have those that take handouts with no appreciation for the effort being given. Still not completely sold on the task.
Good Luck
Paul
