    Organizational Behavior is the study and application of knowledge about how people, individuals, and groups act in organizations (Clark, 1998).

Originally written in 1957 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Code of Ethics has only seen one revision, which occurred in 1989 and was adopted in 1991 as the official code of law enforcement. As a law enforcement officer, society expects your professional life as well as your personal life to remain without question. Although law enforcement officers are still human beings, the organization of law enforcement as well as society places you on a pedestal expecting your conduct to be of a higher standard. A law enforcement officer is expected to lead a life while on duty to protect and preserve life and property, to protect those that cannot protect themselves while protecting the constitutional rights of all whether a criminal or a victim. While off duty, you are charged in keeping your personal life personal and without blemish, in a manner, which will not discredit yourself or your agency. Personal feelings, beliefs, prejudices, or friendships should ever influence the decision to enforce the law equally.…
