What do you want the police to do on your behalf?
Sometimes in police work, a conflict comes up about priorities. Specifically, there could be trade offs among these:
Preventing law breaking
Preventing evil or injustice
Punishing lawbreaking
Punishing evil doing
The good thing about focusing on the law is that the cop doesn’t necessary have to have the same values you do.
Anyway, if a cop in the field were faced with a choice, what would you want them to lean toward?
