I never got the opportunity to actually kick in a locked door or break in a window. Although both were on my bucket list, other
officers beat me to it on the rare occasions when force like that was required.

I never quickly turned around in my patrol car to catch a driver with a suspended license only to see him try to flee and crash
into a motorcyclist, killing him instantly. Yes, the innocent motorcyclist.

I never felt with my hand the last breath ever escape from a dying man’s chest as he wore my handcuffs. Naked, and overdosed
on cocaine.

I never revived an opiate overdose victim with Narcan/Naloxone, and I never used a defibrillator to jump start a stopped heart.
