== Public Relations  ==
As mentioned, being an officer is a hard job and not everyone is cut out for it. In theory, while on duty, every officer should be polite and respectful toward civilians. You'll soon find that being polite to captured criminals makes them increasingly irritated. However, it's common to encounter individuals who harass an officer or are extremely rude, calling an officer 'Pig' or mentioning 'bacon' every time one of us enters the room. It's fairly simple to discourage this type of behavior. At your discretion, give the person two warnings, the first one polite and nice, the second with a bit more bite:

> Enter Bob the Policeman. Joe Schmoe looks at him and sneers.<br>
> Schmoe looks at Bob the Policeman. "Boy, I hate bacon."<br>
> Bob says nicely, "Sir, I suggest you refrain from such derogatory remarks."<br>
> Schmoe says, "I didn't know pigs could talk..."<br>
> Bob says, "Sir, this is your last warning about such remarks."<br>
> Schmoe says, "Oink oink oink oink..."<br>
> Bob charges Joe Schmoe with interfering with the duties of a peace officer.<br>

Note: There are many other misdemeanor infractions which can usually be applied to such situations, including but not limited to: Failure to Identify, Resisting Arrest, etc.
