How to use officer in a sentence?

1. Superintendent Garry McCarthy:

   After considerable deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that Officer Dante Servin showed incredibly poor judgment in his efforts to intervene in a low-level dispute while off-duty, his actions tragically resulted in the death of an innocent young woman and an unthinkable loss for a Chicago family and community. In the end, CPD has rules that we all must live by. Officer Servin violated those rules and he's going to be held accountable for that.

2. Maleah Kiara Brown:

   He was screaming, in pain, he said, 'You tased me. You tased me. Why?' It was awful. Terrible. I asked the officer why he tased him and he told me to get back.

3. Russell Begaye:

   It's difficult to serve as a police officer on Navajo, most of the time, you don't have back-up ... sometimes you'll have another officer driving an hour an hour and a half, responding to a domestic violence situation.

4. Officer Michael Fanone:

   I was very cordial. I extended my hand to shake his hand. He just stared at me. I asked if he was going to shake my hand, and he told me that he didn't who know I was. So I introduced Officer Michael Fanone. I said that I was Officer Michael Fanone. That I was a DC Metropolitan Police officer who fought on January 6 to defend the Capitol and, as a result, I suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as a heart attack after having been tased numerous times at the base of my skull, as well as being severely beaten, at that point, the congressman turned away from me.

5. Anthony Nolan:

   Let's stop protecting these guys and covering up their actions. They make it bad for every decent officer, when I drive by kids, often they shout, 'don't kill me, don't shoot me.' We have to talk about this. I get nervous around other police officers myself.
