io4AcE
411 people in police work, regardless of rank or plsition, are subject to arduous
duties, regardless of whether ths position is primarily considered an inside job or an

with law violators as there are on the outside.
Every man in the police department, regardless of position, is subject to being
involved in dangerous duties, such as th, following:
Hi-jacking (may be involved in gun battle), rape, riots, robberies,
shoplifting, stolen cars, suicides, thefts, murtierns burglaries,
raids and automobile thefts.
All police officers should be in good physical condition, not only for the pro-
