I looked at the webpage you suggested and have to say some of the stories (maybe all, but some affected me more) were sad. Like when an officer was trying to drive to a man's home who attempted suicide and wanted to save him, hit a patch of ice and crashed and died in the process. Another one was when a live wire was down and a cop was going to stick around to make sure nobody touched it until the telephone company came, but two young boys for some reason had to cross this area anyways and when the cop helped them over to safety he accidentally electrocuted himself and passed away as well. Was also sad looking at pictures of surviving family members. At any rate, I'm not "cured" but thanks for sharing this with me - I do appreciate it.

Just consider the profiling that goes on based on race, religion or sexual orientation and apply that to our profession. No matter what statistical group you pick, there will be some who leave a positive impression, which will go mostly unnoticed (unless it is of such magnitude that it leaves a deep impression) and there will be a few very negative impressions, which will burn themselves into your memory forever. Human nature is to focus more on what affects us in a negative way than that which allows us to continue on our pre-set course- never really knowing what was done to make it possible.
My hope is that you will be able to continue on your course without knowing that there has been an event that was prevented because a diligent police officer was on the job.
