Ten Virtues #5

The fifth virtue in the Ten Virtues of a Law Officer series states:
(I will purpose to) Strengthen society's foundational unit of
order, the family, by supplying love, provision, direction and protection to my
own family; and supporting and encouraging others to do the same.

The family really is the foundational unit of order in any society. And your job as peacekeepers is relatively easy when families are strong. That's why Reactive and Proactive Policing are workable models when things are going well. It's fairly easy for law enforcement and local governments to move a community forward when the roadway is nice, smooth, and well-maintained.

But what happens when the roadbed begins to crumble? What happens when that foundational unit of order begins to struggle, to destabilize, and in many cases fall apart all together? We find ourselves bogged down in the muck and mire of lawlessness, social disorder, and moral decay.
