1. Should ethical behavior of a police officer be made public after an allegation of misconduct is founded when the misconduct is extends beyond the officer’s duties and responsibilities to the public. For example, a senior officer reprised against a junior officer for making adverse statements against another officer. Should the entire matter be made public to include the statements made by the junior officer regardless of whether the statements were true? (1 FULL PAGE)
2. We all understand and appreciate that police training can serve many purposes. Obviously it can educate all personnel from police recruits to senior officers on current and changing laws, rules, regulations, and police operations. Some officers believe that when it comes to ethics training they are “over-trained.” Meaning, that they must complete ethics training every year regardless of whether allegations were made against them or even the Department as a whole. For some Departments training consumes nearly 30% of an officers time, not all of which is paid time.
For this question, you are required to list the advantages of training, particuarly ethics training, and whether there are disadvantages. You should also comment on whether there is such a thing as too much training. You are also required to search the Internet for ethical training courses and include that information to the reference section of this paper. (1 FULL PAGE)
CONFERENCE PAPER PART TWO (2 PAGES)
1. Recent events in Ferguson, MO and Baltimore, MD have intensified attention on police conduct more than ever before. But, putting the police conduct aside what other ethical issues are present in both of those situations and how would you have handled it differently? Keep in mind that the police officers are just one group of a number of people who share responsibility for what happened in those instances. Note: Do not forget about elected officials, or the media. (1 FULL PAGE)
2. Any course of instruction concerning police ethics would be remiss with discussion of police discretion. There are few professions that allow one person the authority to effect another person’s life and freedom as the authority granted to a police officer. Most departments strict rules, laws, regulations, operational protocols that address discretion. Some people believe that police officers should be governed by a strict set of rules that cannot be waived or modified regardless of the type of interaction with the public. Meaning, that all laws are enforced to the letter of the law regardless of circumstances. While others believe that police officers should have broad discretion when dealing with the public and be able to treat each interaction as a unique situation..
In your view should officers be required to follow strict operational protocols or should they be allowed to use whatever discretion they deem appropriate depending on the situation? Your comments should describe the pros and cons of police disrection and examples of each. (1 FULL PAGE)
CONFERENCE PAPER PART THREE (2 PAGES)
1. In today’s world it appears that there are no topics more news worthy than internal terrorist activity, political scandals, and police corruption. This is not new to law enforcement. In fact, some stories have evolved into TV shows and movies. For this question, you are required to research and locate a story about police corruption and share it with the class. Your response should include comments on how the corruption could have been avoided. (1 FULL PAGE)
2. In the previous discussion we addressed media interest in stories that focus on police corruption. A natural follow-on question is the correct procedure for handling a single allegation of police misconduct, and how to handle allegations and preliminary findings of police corruption. For the question, assume you are the Chief of Police and receive an allegation that one of your undercover narcotics officers is suspected of stealing drugs and selling them to other officers. How would you handle this situation? For the second situation, assume again that you are the Chief of Police and receive reports that many of your officers are accepting bribes, sexual favors, free gifts to overlook criminal activity. How would you handle this situation? (1 FULL PAGE)
CONFERENCE PAPER PART FOUR (2 PAGES)
All police departments have a professional code of conduct for the officers and agents. It is one thing to have an established code of conduct (ethics) and yet another to ensure the existing code of conduct is adhered to and enforced on a consistent basis. Assume that you are a recently elected Governor and one of the issues in your campaign was eliminating police misconduct at all levels. How would you go about “setting the tone” for police officers in your State, and what criteria would you want developed to convince the public that all police departments will operate in a completely transparent mode? (1 FULL PAGE)
Over the past 10 years or so police departments have made great strides in documenting police activity while on patrol and during interviews of suspects and witnesses. Many police departments have installed video cameras and recorders in police vehicles, or have added body microphones, and require that all interviews of suspects be videotaped and audio recorded. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such practices as they concern ethical behavior? (1 FULL PAGE)
