Would you ever have joined the police service?
Here in Ireland they are called the Garda.

Good question.
The "Good Cop - Bad Cop" is less about interrogation techniques as it is about the police themselves. Whether we fear them or embrace them. My general impression is that police is a subculture, and once you become a police officer you become a member of that sub-culture.
We once attended a community awards ceremony and dinner as guest of one of the award recipients and were seated at a dinner table with police officers and their spouses. No one in uniform, but everyone with a name plate at the table identifying their organizations and who they represented. Like we were "Guest of ___" and everyone else were "Officer --- of the --- Police Department". In the two+ hours of chit-chat with the officers and spouses, it became pretty apparent that they lived isolated lives as families.
