One of the best ways to find out how a "professional" in a job feels is to talk to someone who actually is doing that job.

So volunteer for the local police department, and then let word "get out" about your project. Probably someone will be thrilled to tell you about their first time on the night shift, or similar experiences that they might have had. And then how they dealt with "others" afterward, perhaps higher-ups. That's how you lend "authenticity" to your prose.
