As cops, we deal with a tremendous amount of people and varying scenarios. Dealing with different families, ethics, businesses the list can go on and on. Each event may teach you something new, about people, business, life or any other number of things.
I like to think as cops we are better prepared to deal with anything that gets thrown our way and we’re sort of expected sometimes by family members to be the rock and “know what to do” especially during a family tragedy. Whenever I deal with a family that has lost a member, what to say for comfort seems to come naturally, the ability to help in any way to assist the family through a tough time just seems to work smoothly.
Though through the loss of one of my family members, I cannot seem to gather the right words to say, I cannot point anyone in the right direction or explain anything like I can when it is not a family member of mine.

Yes, you are right dealing other people with sympathy is a great help to ease their pain when they lost their love ones. “as cops we are better prepared to deal with anything”, that’s the better side of us that is why we are trusted and we are always alert to face any scenario.
