I can only answer for myself. I took a lot of pride in my job, and in what I did.
I did quite a lot of self examination. Much of it was tactical in nature (such as, could that guy have shot me if he wanted to?), but at least as much was on how I was perceived by the public and how I might have better worded something verbally or in a report.
I felt I made a difference in many lives. I was a teacher and a mentor to many officers. I was able to attend some very prestigious schools for police supervisors (FBI National Academy and Police Staff & Command).
I did not shy away from difficult situations. I stuck to my convictions, and lost some friends in the process. I look back on an honorable career.
I would do it all over again if I could, but I am very happy in retirement.
