Hi! So, I'm thinking about making a non-bender police officer. I have two questions:
1. Would that work at all?
2. I'm trying to determine the possible range of duties she could perform if the answer to the above is 'yes'. I understand that street patrol/combat is out of the question. But I suppose that a wide range of administrative duties would be available. Evidence cataloguing, requisitions, taking statements, receiving reports about incidents, damage assessment and various other paperwork. You'd hardly need a metalbender for those. About other things, I'm not so certain. Crime scene investigation perhaps? Picking through the rubble after the benders are done wrecking stuff? Canvasing the neighbourhood, interrogating non-benders (given the current sentiments, maybe people would be more inclined to talk to non-bending members of the force)?
Keep in mind, I don't intend for her to do ALL those things. I have some very rough ideas and I'm trying to establish some kind of a framework for developing this character. So, comments? Suggestions? Refusals?
