Yes. But I would prefer a better general payment. I mean, polciemen also do not get a special bonus (or however you want to all it) because they arrested someone, or becasue they went of patrol in a damngerous part of the city, or were envovled in a shooting incident. They do their duty - every day. And this is to be appreciated - every day. And as I said before, duty is duty. I oppose the idea of rewarding it. Duty means it has an obligation coming from itself. If you reward it every time when it is fulfilled, you make it a service then. Which is not what "duty" is about.
I suspect recruitment levels would be very low if all you had to offer was a sense of
duty. If you don't reward duty with a pay check then you don't get duty!
Unless of course........(Must be a German thing!)


*edit* Too obscure?
