As a police officer, sometimes it's just not safe to accept an extended hand. You never know what the person has planned for you after they've grabbed your hand. As a rule, when I'm in uniform, I try not to shake hands. Of course this is a flexible rule depending on the situation, but for safety reasons, I don't shake hands with some I don't know (while working). Most people take offense to it when they extend a hand and I say "I'm sorry, I don't shake hands", but at least I'm going home at the end of the night.
