Members of Law Enforcement typically have strong social skills. Most are expected to be able to conduct investigations including interviews with suspects and witnesses. Law enforcement officers are also expected to be able to have a working knowledge of handguns and moderate skill in their use. Many Law Enforcement officers also use shotguns, sub-machine guns, or rifles in addition to their side arms. Law Enforcement officers typically have high Perception and Social attributes.

Responsibilities of a law enforcement officer are varied, and may differ greatly from within one political context to another. Typical duties relate to keeping the peace, law enforcement, protection of people and property, and the investigation of crimes.

Police Officers are expected to respond to a variety of situations that may arise while they are on duty. Rules and guidelines dictate how an officer should behave within the community, and in many contexts restrictions are placed on what the uniformed officer wears. In some jurisdictions, rules and procedures dictate that a police officer is obligated to intervene in a criminal incident, even if they are offduty. Police officers retain their lawful powers, while off duty.
