Describe the situation and how it was handled. Explain the ethical implications of the officer’s action and the determining outcome. Address whether the agency where the officer worked had an appropriate ethical standard or statement.
Be careful about the case you choose. Make sure you pick a case that specifically calls in to question the ethical integrity of a law enforcement officer. Shoot-don’t-shoot scenarios are not about ethics, they are about spontaneous reactions.
