Every law enforcement officer has said those five words at one time or another during their careers. They approach a seemingly compliant suspect to talk, frisk for weapons, or place under arrest. As the officer approaches, he or she may notice the hands of the suspect are in their pockets, behind their back, or hidden in some manner. The officer commands, "Let me see your hands." When an officer tells someone to show them their hands, are they truly ready for what might happen when the suspect brings their hands towards the officer as they were instructed?

When thinking of survival in law enforcement, the first thought is the obvious physical danger of the job. There is more to a law enforcement officer's survival than the obvious, which would be to survive the psychological stress effects. In a career, an officer will evolve from idealistic rookie to cynical veteran. This evolution will come with experience and the negative effects of the job. With awareness also comes hope that no officer will have to experience a death -- not a physical death, but a professional one. This article is located in the Core Database, document #613553.
