Don't they have the same constitutional rights as everyone else?

this is the paper I need to do and I am not finding the information that I need:
Your job is to create a section of a new employee handbook for police officers that highlights their constitutional rights and other rights afforded to them under the law. This section should highlight key areas for incoming police officers so that they are aware of what they are going to face during their years on the force.
They have the same rights as others, however, some may be limited due to employment (right to sue the chief), or restricted by the constitutional rights of those they arrest (they cannot listen to an arrestee unless he has been warned of their 4th admendment rights). They cannot use clout of authority to obtain favors or personal benefits.
To find the specific constitutional rights that police officers have in Missouri, you can refer to the Missouri State Constitution and the United States Constitution. Here's how you can access these resources:
1. Missouri State Constitution:
- Visit the official website of the Missouri Secretary of State (https://www.sos.mo.gov/).
- Look for a section dedicated to the Missouri State Constitution, which may be found under the "Publications" or "Government" section.
- Navigate to the Missouri State Constitution and search for the relevant sections that pertain to police officers' constitutional rights.
2. United States Constitution:
- Visit the website of the United States Government's official portal (https://www.usa.gov/).
- Look for a section related to the Constitution or the branches of government.
- Access the United States Constitution either by clicking on the Constitution link directly or by exploring the resources provided by the website.
- Pay attention to the amendments that specifically address law enforcement, such as the Fourth Amendment (search and seizure), Fifth Amendment (self-incrimination), and Fourteenth Amendment (due process).
Once you locate these resources, you can search for specific constitutional rights granted to police officers within the language of both constitutions. It may be useful to consult legal professionals or scholars for a comprehensive understanding of these rights.
