From what we read this week in our assigned readings, we
learned that risk management and risk assessment has a lot to do
with early indicators and how police administrators respond to
them. The police administrators are watching for actions and
behavior which may signify misconduct or risk related behavior
(Worden, Harris & McLean, 2014). How I understand this is
police agencies are employing an environment of ethical
behavior, and through risk management and risk assessment
procedures, and when certain questionable actions of an officer
are observed by another officer or someone in the public, the
information is up-channeled in the department. After learning
of the behavior, police administrators are reviewing the action,
and if miniscule in nature and do not meet the threshold of
criminal or civil in nature, are watching these employees to
ensure they are behaving ethically.
These practices seem like a good idea, but what we
have to understand is that this would not be successful unless
the department places an emphasis on ethics within the
department. Of course, citizens will report unethical behavior
by an officer; however, officer must police their own as well.
Once reported, if the action is correctable within interagency
policy, the incident should be documented, the officer re-trained
on ethical procedures and monitored over a period of time,
determined by department leaders. What this does is correct
behavior and put people on the right track, as well as monitor
behaviors by those who exhibit risk related behavior for more
early intervention before their behavior becomes out of hand
and something happens that will be hard for the department to
recover from.
Ethics will always be a point of contention within

2. law enforcement nationwide. Emphasis on ethical practices
must be employed throughout an employee’s career. Ethics
training should be in place to ensure everyone knows the ethical
practices of the job and of the department’s policies and to
ensure everyone knows that each employee should be
monitoring one another and holding one another accountable for
unethical actions. There is no room for unethical action in law
enforcement. Unethical behaviors and actions set the employee
and department up for failure as well as hampers police and
community relations as a whole.
