Those are some great points. Both police and soldiers have been both the best and the worst.

Some qualities I would like:

• Ability to integrate locals over time.
• Ability and initiative to investigate crimes.
• Less armed to avoid being off-putting.
• Ability to call in more forces as needed.
• Part of the population, and not wholly separate.
• Not abusive.
• Not fascist.
• Highly trained.
• Highly disciplined.
