Is it better for a police officer to be individualistic or a team player?

Posted on December 7th, 2011 by admin

Obviously a team player is a must because you are working with others in a police department, but don’t you also work by yourself a lot of the time?

My vote goes to team player…….for the most part. As you point out being a team player is important in many aspects of the job such as doing your part on a multifaceted call or holding your part on a tactical call. Police in most departments do work alone a good majority of the time so having qualities that allow you to function well working alone are important too.
