Document Summary

Codes of ethics are policies that establish standard behavior for police officers. They reduce the likelihood that police officers will become involved in unprofessional and illegal behavior. They are directed toward individual officers rather than the police service in which they work. Rotten barrels are group misconduct by police officers. Rotten orchards are misconducts by a police service. The noble cause corruption is a view by police officers that the ends justify the means. It occurs when the mission of the police to make communities and their residents safe is seen as justifying the violation of regulations and the law, for a higher good. Simply, it is bending the rules for the greater good.
