In your experience are a lot of police officers former-military? If so, are they usually former enlisted or former officers?

I'd say about 1/4 to 1/3 of the officers I have worked with are former military. Of those about 90% were enlisted/NCOs.

I have no clue as to what you are talking about. The application of punctuation may help, but I don't think so.
