Read the passage.

(1) The CEO of an automobile company once stated what many believe-that police officers are the professionals who are the most overworked, underpaid, and deserving of bonuses in the country-and I agree. (2) Beyond a doubt, police officers deserve all of the respect, resources, and pay that we can offer. (3) Police officers should be given bonuses just like any other professional working group. (4) Anyone who has had a police officer touch his or her life knows how police officers can make a difference. (5) So it is small compensation to allow these professionals to do their jobs with regular bonuses, and of course the respect and admiration they deserve.
