Some people seem to put themselves into situations because of the 'perks':

Child molesters make a point of putting them where children are: Scouts, clubs, schools, etc.

Politicians put themselves where they can have power.

And you know that some cops put themselves in that job for the power they can wield over people. You know the police departments know that, and try to keep them out or weed them out, but sociopaths and psychopaths can be good actors and excellent manipulators. After all, they've been practicing all their lives.
