Not to me.
I've seen the best and worst in LEOs and FBI agents in my life. The bluff and bluster mean nothing to me.
For example, a cop who once arrested me was one of the most professional and polite officers I had ever met.
I was a collection manager for a local long-distance reseller a few years later, and part of my job was plant security. I wanted to consult with a professional who had "seen the elephant" and I went looking for a mentor. By that time my arresting officer had retired.
I hired him to act as my consultant.
