Abstract: Law enforcement organizations nationwide adhere to strict hiring standards mandated by certification commissions that seek out individuals with the highest moral values. Cadets receive ethics training in academies to reinforce the importance of high ethical behavior and its relationship to the profession. However, because police officers are human beings chosen from the public, leaders cannot expect total absence of corruption and unethical behavior. The question is whether organizations are doing enough to reinforce ethics training and reduce misconduct.
