Read through tons on this thread - truthfully I haven't RP'd as an Officer in a long time, before V6 actually. However I agree with the various comments about CivRP too. I do believe most of us are at fault for it, small minor inconveniences that we overlook as PD won't take the time to resolve them anymore - hence leading to complaciency on both ends, a double edged sword really.
Things like running lights, stop signs or driving over a crossing whilst someone is making their way over used to get me pulled over a couple of years back... Now? Officers just drive past. I miss the quality of competent and dedicated officers, hopefully with some internal changes/discussions they can steer things back to a positive place.
Maybe some sort of acknowledgement for doing different duties whilst employed with the PD would help, emphases on traffic stops, patrols etc.
