Upholding the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics with Daily Policing Tools

摘要

SO BEGINS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CODE OF ETHICS THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE IACP AT THE 64TH ANNUAL IACP CONFERENCE AND EXPOSITION IN 1957. SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION, MANY AGENCIES HAVE ADOPTED THE CODE TO STATE THEIR OWN MISSION AND COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. In taking this agreed-upon oath, police officers can stand united as they fulfill the duties acknowledged within the code of ethics. In these harsh times of a global pandemic and civil unrest, many officers have reflected back on this code to remind themselves why they chose the law enforcement profession and how they can proudly enact their commitment to the communities they serve through public service and personal behavior during the work day.
