Author, Sandra K. Marshall is the author of The Riverboat
Mysteries set in the Midwest .
Author's like to write stories using cops as heroes. It is a very dangerous job, but they have
been in the news in a very negative way lately.
Police officers go through extensive training, and it's ongoing. They have to get so many hours in every year,
and there are classes that are mandatory for all law enforcement.

| Officers in class |
For instance, police officers are required to take classes
on recognizing an autistic person and learning what to do when they meet
them. Another thing they're dealing with
is mentally ill people who are committing suicide by cop. This is something that happens more
frequently than anyone hears about. Not
only that there are hundreds of cops who commit suicide because they can't deal
with what they have done. No one wants
to kill someone especially a police officer.
Their job is to protect you.
There are bad cops, too, and you don't often read about
them in books. Those who write stories using cops
as heroes need to dig deeper because there are so many more layers to these men
and women than usually appears in the media.
These people suffer from their actions just like all of us.
Have you ever read or written a story using a cop as a hero, or bad guy?
