Defense attorneys will commonly ask an officer if he/she received training in the academy (or otherwise) on how to sound believable on the stand. The purpose is to suggest the officer is practiced at deceiving and appears credible because of special training in how to act, not because she’s testifying truthfully.
Rookie cops get considerable help early in the job. The first time you walk into the police station as a new rookie officer, you feel like you belong anywhere but there. Everyone around you is relaxed and confident.
An attorney is an important advocate and guardian to have when being interrogated by the police. They can guide the suspect into acting in their best interests, whether that is talking to the police or staying silent.
A final challenge of having a former police officer, now prosecutor, in your office, is that a potential conflict of interest could arise between the prosecutor and a local police department if there is a case in which the prosecutor has to prosecute an officer involved shooting (“OIS”).
If a lawyer suspects there are mental health, intellectual disabilities or issues that impact representaiton they are required to bring them to the Court's attention. It just can't be ignored, so it is not a pretenses to continue, delay or inconvenience you.
At anytime during a case an attorney feels that competency is an issue they have a duty to bring it up and have it addressed.

Defense attorneys want to put you on trial so the jury will be distracted from who is actually on trial. They don’t want to spend time on the evidence. The evidence proves their clients are guilty. On days you are scheduled for court, put a Q-tip in your pocket.
There are rules that limit what a defense attorney can do – they can’t fals ify evidence or counsel a witness to lie, for example – but, they have no obligation to present the truth and I continuously see officers shocked when they learn this firsthand in court. Don’t blame defense attorneys.
Putting Everyone on Trial Except the Defendant. Defense attorneys will attack an officer’s credibility more often and harder than other prosecution witnesses just because you’re an officer. They know if they can raise a doubt about your credibility, it may cause a judge or jury to doubt the credibility of the entire case (remember Mark Fuhrman ?). ...
Your big power play is to understand defense attorneys can’t make you feel defensive – unless you let them. (Photo/Pixabay) “Defense counsel has no obligation to present the truth. If he can confuse a witness, even a truthful one, or make him appear unsure or indecisive, that will be his normal course.”.
Right to an attorney: The Court also held that a person must be told of their right to have an attorney present during questioning. An attorney is an important advocate and guardian to have when being interrogated by the police.
Many individuals being questioned by police may feel that the only option is to confess because they feel that that is the easy way out, especially if they believe the police’s inflation of evidence against them.
And because whether an individual is cooperative (or not) with law enforcement could implicate their liberty if the suspect is indicted on charges , it is vital that the suspect understands all the constitutional rights they have.

These safeguards are put in place to protect both the rights and safety of individuals as well as the integrity of the criminal justice system.
Being aware of one’s rights protects individuals during police interrogations. Without such protections, individuals may incriminate themselves during such interrogations where they would not have done so if they had been aware of their rights. Once a suspect exercises these rights, police must stop their interrogation.
For example, police can lie to a suspect in telling them that their cohort already confessed to the crime. [ Frazier v. Cupp, 394 U.S. 731 (1969) .]
So, you are at the top of the list. Congratulations! It wasn’t like there was anyone competing against you anyway. Most police lines are applicant thin or empty.
It is time to stop staring at the ceiling. We are in crisis mode. Little by little, law enforcement is getting chiseled down resulting from bad policies to resource shortages. And you want to be part of the solution?
What I loved about police work is really non-existent today. No thanks.
How about the heaviness you feel when you respond to a child not breathing only to arrive too late? In fact, you always arrive too late for the kids. Bruises. Broken bones. Broken souls. Kids are the police officer’s kryptonite.
After reading this letter, if you still accept the challenge, then more power to you. No, it isn’t the passing of a light saber. It is a blessing. To you. To yours.
