As the article 48 of the police's law sums it up, here is the mission of the police, "The police force, as well as each of its members, has the mission of maintaining peace, order, and security public, to prevent crime and, according to their respective jurisdiction, infringements of laws or regulations made by municipal authorities, and to search for the perpetrators. " In other words, the police will go on patrol by car. They will make sure the citizens are safe. They also take calls from dispatch. Nowadays, they also play several roles, such as the role of mediator, the psychologist or the social worker.
As for a typical day for a police officer, all police officers could confirm that a typical day doesn't exist in the profession of police officer. This is why, being a police officer, you must always be prepared for any eventuality. One day can be super busy and another you can hear the flies flying.
The police are associated with a police station. They indeed have their own police station. However, it is true to say that this is where they work, but their place of work is not specific. They work in the streets, they patrol them.

The chances that the police profession will be replaced by robots are very slim, since the profession is very complex. It requires a lot of expertise. For example, the police officer must have good judgment. The police officer also has a lot of responsibilities such as discretionary power. In my opinion, the robots have not made it there.
"Police officers can usually retire with a pension after twenty years on the force, so ten-year marks the halfway point. Many seasoned officers choose to stay in uniform on the beat. These officers serve as examples for their younger colleagues, providing what may be the rookies’ most important training. Officers who have already made captain are eligible for consideration to become inspectors, police chiefs or commissioners. These positions are filled by political appointment. Upon retirement, police officers can expect a pension (usually at half pay), an opportunity to pursue a second career, and the appreciation of a safer society."
As you can see, the job of a police officer is not easy, it involves great dangers and strong emotions. On the other hand, there is also some good things about it like this feeling of rewarding.
