Police Philosophy

A View From The Street

By D.B. "Skip" Hadfield

AuthorHouse LLC

CHAPTER 1

POLICE PHILOSOPHY 101 AS COMPILED BY D.B. "SKIP" HADFIELD OVER ALMOST 30 YEARS OF CIVILIAN AND MILITARY POLICE WORK. I DON'T CLAIM THAT WHAT IS WRITTEN HERE IS 100% ORIGINAL, BUT IT IS THE PRODUCT OF LIFE IN POLICE WORK AS SEEN THROUGH MY EYES.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: MY PHILOSOPHY AS EXPRESSED HERE IS DONE SO UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.... YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT TELLS US ABOUT FREE SPEECH. I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR BEING CONSERVATIVE. I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR BEING OUTSPOKEN. I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR SAYING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR LIVES. WHETHER YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH MY "PHILOSOPHY", IT IS REAL. IT IS LIFE AS IT PERTAINS TO POLICE WORK. I MAKE NO APOLOGIES WHATSOEVER, FOR THE CURSE WORDS OR POLITICAL INCORRECTNESS OR IRREVERANCE FOR OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

MENTAL MEANDERINGS OVER THE YEARS, OR POLICE PHILOSOPHY 101

**LOOK AHEAD AND PLAN, DON'T LOOK BACK AND REGRET.

**ENJOY BEING

**WHEN YOU'VE STOPPED LEARNING, YOU'RE DEAD. (THANKS FOR THIS ONE MOM)

**ALWAYS! ALWAYS! ALWAYS! EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

**IF YOU DON'T EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED YOU'RE IN FOR SOME NASTY SURPRISES. THE KIND YOU WON'T LIKE.

**ALWAYS! ALWAYS! ALWAYS! WATCH THE HANDS. THEY CAN KILL YOU. A VULGAR MOUTH CAN NOT.

**THE MOST DIFFICULT TASK FOR A PERSON TO ACCOMPLISH IS TO TELL A COMPLICATED LIE OVER AND OVER.

**WHY SETTLE FOR ONE INTERVIEW. ALWAYS DO AT LEAST TWO. YOU WILL BE CONSTANTLY SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU LEARN.

**HOMICIDE - OUR DAY BEGINS WHEN YOURS END.

**FIRST RULE OF A GUNFIGHT.... HAVE A GUN. SECOND RULE OF A GUNFIGHT.... WIN. THIRD RULE OF A GUNFIGHT.... REFER TO RULES ONE AND TWO.

**REGARDING GUN FIGHTS.... THE FIRST BULLET IN THE K5 WINS.

**PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEING TOO GOOD WITH YOUR DUTY ARMS.

**WHEN A SUBJECT WANTS TO TAKE YOUR LIFE, THERE ARE NO RULES SAVE ONE: WIN!

**IT'S EASIER TO GET OUT OF A JAIL CELL THAN OUT OF A GRAVE.

**IT'S BETTER TO BE TRIED BY TWELVE THAN CARRIED BY SIX.

**DAYDREAM SOME OTHER TIME, NOT ON DUTY.

**MAKE NO MAN YOUR ENEMY.... YOUR ENEMY IS EVIL.

**WINNERS DO WHAT LOSERS CAN'T, WON'T OR DON'T.

**WHOEVER FIGHTS MONSTERS SHOULD TAKE CARE THAT IN THE PROCESS HE DOES NOT BECOME A MONSTER.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK INTO THE ABYSS, THE ABYSS ALSO LOOKS INTO YOU. NIETSCHE.

**THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FAIR FIGHT IN THIS BUSINESS.

**IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER ANYTHING.

MARK TWAIN

**IF YOU AIN'T IN CONDITION YELLOW WHILE ON DUTY, YOU AIN'T.

**THE LAW LEGITIMIZES THE USE OF FORCE. WHEN YOU NEED TO USE FORCE, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE USE IT. THERE CAN BE NO LAW WITHOUT THE LEGITIMATE USE OF FORCE.

**A HALF-TRUTH IS USUALLY LESS THAN HALF THAT.

WILLIAMS **CONTEMPLATE YESTERDAY.... ENJOY TODAY.... DON'T WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW

**A LIE IS A LIE. A LITTLE WHITE ONE. AN EVASION. A WHOPPER. THEY ARE ALL LIES AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE THAT.

**THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH. WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT THAT?

**THERE IS STRENGTH IN TENACITY.

**YOU CAN GIVE YOUR INTEGRITY AWAY, BUT NO ONE CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU. (THANKS FOR THIS ONE DAD)

**UNNEEDED LAWS WEAKEN NEEDED LAWS.

**BE CAREFUL SEARCHING FOR EXCITEMENT, IT'S REALLY EASY TO FIND.

**COURAGE IS KNOWING YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR BUTT KICKED, AND GOING ANYWAY.

**A TRUTH ABOUT BEING A VICTIM OF CRIME: IT MAKES YOU HATE.

**THE WONDER OF POLICE WORK IS.... POLICE WORK.

GOD, IT FEELS GOOD WHEN YOU HELP A LITTLE CHILD.

**RANK IMPOSES RESPONSIBILITY, NOT PRIVILEGE OR POWER.

**IT'S EASIER TO KEEP YOUR CHARACTER THAN TRY TO RECOVER IT.

**A LONG WALK IS A GOOD REMEDY FOR A SHORT TEMPER.

**THERE IS NO BETTER SYMBOL OF MAN'S HUMANITY TO MAN THAN A POLICE CAR WITH LIGHTS BLAZING AND SIREN SCREAMING.

**A SMART COP KNOWS WHAT TO DO NEXT.

**IF YOU ENJOY BEING BRUTALLY HONEST, CHECK YOURSELF WHETHER IT'S THE BRUTALITY OR THE HONESTY THAT TRIPS YOUR TRIGGER.

**IF YOU BEAT YOUR CHILD, YOU ARE ALSO BEATING YOUR GRANDCHILD. JEWISH PROVERB.

**NO ONE KNOWS THE DEFINITION OF CHILD ABUSE? HERE IT IS: NEVER HIT A CHILD ANYWHERE BUT ON THE BOTTOM, WITH ANYTHING BUT YOUR HAND AND NEVER MORE THAN THREE TIMES. YOU WANTED IT, YOU GOT IT. (THANKS FOR THIS ONE TOO DAD. GOD REST YOUR SOUL)

**TO HAVE A FRIEND, BE ONE. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.

**YOUR WORK IS YOUR PRAISE.

**THE PERSON AT THE BOTTOM IS THE ONE TO TALK TO, TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

**THERE IS NO CAUTIOUS TEST FOR COURAGE.

**PAY ATTENTION TO THE CROOKS. THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO POINT OUT YOUR MISTAKES.

**PATIENCE CAN BE THE KEY TO EVERYTHING. IT DON'T USUALLY HURT TO WAIT A COUPLE OF SECONDS.

**INTEGRITY, MINUS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN CAUGHT DOING EQUALS YOUR REPUTATION.

**THINK ABOUT THIS: THE ONLY COMPANION YOU WILL HAVE FROM BIRTH TO DEATH.... IS YOURSELF. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

**INTEGRITY! YOU HAVE IT OR YOU DON'T! WHAT COULD BE EASIER?

**THERE IS A CHASM BETWEEN NEARLY RIGHT AND EXACTLY RIGHT.

**WISDOM IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KEEP YOU OUT OF SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED IT.

**BE LAZY, REST BEFORE YOU GET TIRED.

**BRAVERY IS ALWAYS IN FASHION.

**WORK RADAR NOT WRECKS.

**DRINK AND DRIVE; WE'LL PROVIDE THE CHASER.

**GET KNOCKED DOWN SEVEN TIMES, STAND UP EIGHT....

**BE CAUTIOUS GIVING ADVICE, IT'S AN UNCERTAIN GIFT.

**IT'S HARD TO TELL A HUMAN IS A MONSTER UNTIL (S)HE DOES SOMETHING MONSTROUS. IE: RICHARD DAVIS

**ENEMIES COME AND GO, FRIENDS ACCUMULATE.

**YOU AREN'T GIVEN LUCK, IT'S LENT TO YOU.

**BE A MARSHMALLOW, UNTIL YOU ARE FORCED TO TURN TO GRANITE.

**SMILE, THINGS COULD BE WORSE.

**TO WIN, YOU MUST PREPARE TO WIN.

**RULES ARE GOOD, BUT BE PREPARED TO MAKE YOUR OWN WHEN NEED ARISES.

**NECESSITY WILL FORCE YOU TO TAKE CHANCES. BE PREPARED.

**THERE IS NO DEGREE OF HONESTY

**THERE IS NO DEGREE OF INTEGRITY

**THERE IS NO DEGREE OF TRUTH

**IT SHOCKS US TO FIND A TRAITOR AMONGST US, YET WE LAUGH AT HONOR.

**LIVE SO YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF.... BUT NEVER HAVE TO.

**AN FTO CAN TELL YOU WHAT HE EXPECTS OF YOU. A TEACHING FTO AWAKENS YOUR OWN EXPECTATIONS.

**IT'S HARDER TO BEAR TEARS THAT YOU HAVE CAUSED.

**IN POLICE WORK, MOMENTS ABSOLUTELY FREE FROM WORRY ARE CALLED PANIC.

**WRITE INJURIES IN SAND AND KINDNESSES IN MARBLE.... FRENCH PROVERB.

**SERGEANTS! POLICEMEN LIVE BY ENCOURAGEMENT AND DIE WITHOUT IT.... SLOWLY.... SADLY.... ANGRILY.

**A GOOD COP DOES MAKE MISTAKES. A BAD COP KEEPS REPEATING THEM.

**IT'S EASIER TO SMILE THAN FROWN.

**WHEN THINGS ARE BAD, THEY CAN ALWAYS GET WORSE ... CONVERSELY.... WHEN THINGS ARE GOOD, THEY CAN ALWAYS GET BETTER.

**IF IT AIN'T ON PAPER, IT AIN'T.

**THE PALEST INK IS BETTER THAN THE BEST MEMORY.

**YOU CAN'T ACT LIKE A SKUNK FOR LONG WITHOUT SOMEONE QUICKLY GETTING WIND OF IT.

**KINDNESS CONSISTS OF TREATING ASSHOLES BETTER THAN THEY DESERVE.

**HADFIELD'S LAW OF HUMAN BEINGNESS:

*IF YOU TREAT HADFIELD LIKE A HUMAN BEING, HE WILL TREAT YOU LIKE A HUMAN BEING.

*IF YOU DON'T.... HE WON'T

*IF YOU DON'T, YOU'LL WISH YOU HAD.

**LIFE IS HARD, IT'S EVEN HARDER IF YOU'RE STUPID. JOHN WAYNE

**COPS DON'T GET PAID TO FIGHT FAIR.... ONLY...
