Neither. They aren't any different than seeing a farmer, someone in the military, an EMT worker, a teacher or a grocery store clerk.
I HATE it when people see a police car on the side of the road and damn slow down to UNDER the speed limit. Then I look like an idiot as I come racing up behind them.
When my son died the AF requires 2 people from the AF and two people from the local law enforcement agency to come and tell the survivors. Because I don't actually live in a city, that meant the county sheriff's office came. Not only were they amazingly helpful and kind, but they sent me a condolence card - and not just one with their names signed on it - they had each written very kind notes.
Plus one of my all time favorite people is a NOLA policeman ;)
