Hi Jason. Sometimes being empathetic can help when dealing with criminals. You have to remember that regardless of what you suspect they did, they are innocent until proven guilty; we must always treat subjects with dignity and respect even when we may not want to. I suggest reading about Police Codes of Ethics which can give you a pretty good idea on how police officers should conduct themselves. Good Luck!

One thing that I like to remember is that even though you must keep professionalism while dealing with suspects or criminals, just remember that they still humans. Respect is a two-way street, and it goes a long way!
