Do you confront your problems head on, or ignore them until you have to do something? Do you procrastinate?
A case comes up, you deal with it. You screw up, you deal with it. You start something, you finish it, one way or another.
Procrastination is hesitation stretched out. It's what costs you cases. You start strolling through investigations and you lose things. People skip town, leave the country, change their names. You have to act fast, or you're going to miss out.
As far as confronting things head on, though, that's another great way to blow your case. Hi, my name's Olivia and I'm here to arrest you. That doesn't really go over so well with the majority of perps. So no, I don't confront them head on. I come in sideways, or up from behind. You want the open face of what's about to happen to them to be the last thing your target sees.

Is there any truth to the saying: keep your friends close, and your enemies closer?
Some people are simply not aggressive, for whatever reason. They're weak, they're frightened, they're pacifists. When these people get depressed, though, or angry... when they decide someone else is to blame for their problems, or they decide they can't handle their lives anymore, sometimes they seek out ways of ending their lives. It happens. People will always suffer from suicidal impulses. There's a certain type of person, though, who isn't strong enough to take their own life. They want to be a martyr, or they want to have someone for their survivors to blame. Or they want someone to blame themselves.
It's called suicide by cop. They get desperate, commit a crime, often violent, and then engage in a standoff. They want to be killed by police action. In days when police are constantly accused of excessive force, the lines are becoming hard to find anymore.
His name was Eric Plummer. I helped put him in prison, and when he got out--when his verdict was overturned--he decided it was time to make me pay for putting him there. He went after people I protected, relatives of victims... he turned my own name around and used it against me. He followed my cases from prison, and he stalked me on foot once he was out. His cellmate said he was obsessed with me. My own partner put a detail on me. It was supposed to be for my protection, but he didn't even tell me. IA wanted my captain to take me off the case, but they didn't have to. I did it for them.
I shot and killed Plummer in an apartment in Alphabet City because he was holding a gun to the head of a woman who was depending on me to save her life. His weapon wasn't loaded.
