Self-improvement through serious endeavor

In this day and age, people are likely to embrace what is wrong and reject what is good. Many covet what they do not deserve, with no desire to attain goals through honest work. Some join gangs, use illegal drugs, and are thoroughly ensconced in laziness and decadence. They are involved in theft, robbery, and extortion, walking on the wrong side of the law without any fear of legal retribution. These people and their crimes are all threats to social order and stability. Police strive to fight crime, defend law-abiding citizens, and continually struggle against those who would break the law for their own selfish pleasures.

The primary tool of the police is martial skills, which they must develop through persistent practice. They must continually seek to improve their abilities, constantly cultivating the essential qualities of prudence, ferocity, courage, and correct judgment. Even after years of learning, one can achieve only a superficial level.
