Excerpts

Some homes look like castles on the outside and cottages on the inside. They appear to be one way but are not, in reality, what they seem to be. The criminal justice profession is like a castle: prestigious, prominent, and deserving of respect. It is critical that the inhabitants of the castle,allofficers who have sworn to uphold and enforce the law, conduct themselves in accordance with appropriate standards of behavior. The profession must be what it is designed to be: equitable, effective, and ethical. Anything less is unacceptable. Enforcing Ethicshas a fundamental purpose: to encourage you, the skilled police or corrections recruit, officer, or supervisor, to think critically and carefully about your behavior, your decisions, and your values. Enforcing Ethicswill introduce you toethical encounters:55 scenarios based on realistic situations you may have encountered in the past or situations you may encounter in the future. Also, you will analyzepoints to ponder:50 questions to discuss among your colleagues. (Any similarity to real cases or people is coincidental.) Enforcing Ethicswill likely lead to opposing points of view, heated discussions, and intense debates. That's fine. In whatever environment you choose to cover the material, keep one goal in mind: to answer truthfully and openly. EnjoyEnforcing Ethics,and thank you for serving our communities with pride, honesty, and integrity.
