The police officers that serve and protect us on a daily basis face stress and difficult situations every day. In the course of carrying out their duties, police officers (who are after all only human) sometimes make mistakes. Just as in every profession, there are good cops and there are bad cops. Some police officers occasionally deserve disciplinary action. Many, if not most, do not. It is seldom an easy task to determine when a police officer has violated procedure, made a simple human error, or when (as is often the case) the officer did everything by the book, but there was still an unforseen consequence.

By the pure nature of their profession, police officers often find themselves, both literally and figuratively, in the line of fire. Making sure that police officers are held accountable for their actions, while at the same time making sure that all the police officers who are diligently doing their duty do not face either excessive or altogether unnecessary discipline for ceratin unforseen circumstances and results is a delicate balance that must be struck. To strike the right balance, many factors must be taken into account.
