Delattre (2011) discusses corruption within policing and maintains that officers must present a positive public image to insure the publics trust and support. The author states that accountability must be adhered to by all ranks of the police agency. Also that accountability dictates that when abuses of police discretion and authority occur that they are investigated and that all police personnel are held accountable for their actions (p. 9192). Police agencies must be diligent in their efforts to address acts of malfeasance.
You are assigned to a conduct review board at your agency. The chief of police has instructed each of you to collaborate to review three officers conduct issues. As a group you must determine if the conduct engaged in by each of the officers in the scenario is ethical or unethical. Following the determination you must designate a committee decision and outcome for the officer involved incident. Each of the officers involved have agreed to a committee review of their action set and will abide by the committees findings. Please follow the action steps that follow to guide the committees recommendation:
Each of the designations is progressive in their level of malfeasance. Your rationale should be well detailed and supported. Use the textbook and other periodicals to support your rationale. All components of the events and actions are to be examined and evaluated.
This represents a group Assignment wherein each of the class members must offer equal participation. Regular meetings should be conducted to analyze each of the incidents and make recommendations regarding the finding and recommended punishments. Your final essay should thoroughly document the committees (groups) finding and associated recommendation set. This essay should be 3 pages in length and use at least two credible outside research sources including academic journals to support your view. Turnitin must be below 20%
Finally please remember that the analysis is equal part collaboration of group members analysis of the incident synthesis of course principles and theories and support for the judgments recommended. For this assignment we are going with Scenario 2.
