Ethics
Your nametag, department patch and badge are the most important aspects of your uniforms and represent much more than metal and fabric
Whether you are a rookie or a chief, be a good citizen and take the ticket
“When officers make mistakes in their career, 95% of the time it’s the fault of the department.”
Moral ambiguity can prove to be the first stop on the path to a pattern of unethical and illegal behavior by otherwise well-meaning officers
You do not need to abandon either your street intensity or your commitment to your physical survival in order to have a positive outlook on your chosen career
To me “professional courtesy” means that when you are in my jurisdiction you conduct yourself so that your behavior doesn’t require that I come into contact with you
