The public demands that the integrity of its law enforcement officers be above reproach, and the dishonesty of a single officer may impair public confidence and cast suspicion upon the entire department. Succumbing to even minor temptation can be the genesis of a malignancy which may ultimately destroy an individuals effectiveness and may contribute to the corruption of countless others. An officer must scrupulously avoid any conduct which might compromise the integrity of her/himself, fellow officers, or the department.
All employees are expected to act with integrity in the course of exercising their duties.
