GCU Ethical Violation in Policing Presentation

GCU Ethical Violation in Policing

Policing is a highly scrutinized role in criminal justice and technology provides real-time access to police activity and instant assumptions of appropriate use of force and police procedures.

Use the internet to locate an article where a police officer violated ethical law enforcement behaviors, such as unethical practices against police procedures, use of force, or investigative protocols.

Create an 8-10 slide PowerPoint® presentation with extensive speaker notes. Address the following:

• Describe the ethical violation and why it is an ethical violation, based on the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics.
• Explain the consequences for the violation. Do you feel the consequences were adequate? Why or why not?
• Explain what measures the agency has taken to prevent such an occurrence from happening again. Do you feel they are effective? Provide a possible alternative measure to be considered.
• Propose how the officer should have acted to support the code of ethics and show good personal ethics.
