Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
It is gratifying to know you make a difference.
I have no idea what the laws of your jurisdiction may be. Contact your local law enforcement agency.
There is no single answer to your question. You may as well ask "what does a middle manager in a company do." The only real answer is "it depends." Different agencies have different rank structures and assign job duties/responsibilities in different ways. At one department something might be assigned to an officer, while it is assigned to a captain at another department.
I don't understand the yellow card/red card reference.
Police officers do not know the driver/occupants of a vehicle when stopped. They could be a nice family or it could be a murderous robbing crew. Unit criminals start wearing signs that clearly identify themselves, police officers will back each other up on traffic stops and other calls. It is a safety thing.

I've heard that a lot of startups are hiring really well-educated college grads and paying them a lot, reasoning that customer service is often a client's most lasting impression of a brand. What do you think, and is it something you see spreading?
I don't know. It depends on the laws of your state and your driving record. You might want to contact an attorney.
I'm guessing this is a rhetorical question.
There is a lot going on in this country that I don't agree with. Arresting people for peaceably assembling or for exercising their freedom of speech in public is unconscionable. All law enforcement officers have taken an oath, which includes upholding the Constitution. Any law enforcement officer who violates his or her oath should be held accountable.
There may be one somewhere. Where and what it says...well, I have no idea. Try using Google to find laws for your state/locality. You should be able to find something pretty quickly.
