After an HPD recruit (who was later lauded as a Desert Storm hero by both local newsrags of the time when his reserve unit was called up) was proven to be a liar and an insurance fraudster - along with his sergeant and a female partner - an HPD lieutenant shrugged and admitted to a member of my household, "Grow up.  Cops are no more honest or truthful than anybody else."  I would add that it stands to reason they are no more brave or selfless than a random stranger you're apt to bump into on the street.

Make no mistake, I implicitly trust individual HPD officers.  Just as much as I'd be apt to implicitly trust you or any other random adult citizen.
