According to me police work is both profession as well as responsibility. I am saying this because the police work was is directed towards public service. The job role here is taking care of the society, nation and whole community. Their safety and security is the responsibility of the police department. When the work of the police is considered as a profession then one advantage is that a certain amount of remuneration is attached to it and police can be held responsible if they fail to perform to the duties assigned to them.
