Ethical community can be applied to just about every
organization in the business of service. In the organization that I work in the
ethical values is a necessity for the delivery of public service which the
community expects. The public servants are expected to act in a manner of
ethical behavior and to perform their job with ethical behavior.
The first is trust where the public
expects you to serve and protect them at all costs. This can mean the ultimate sacrifice
if need be and to act in a compassionate manner. At times this may seem
difficult depending on the situation and the type of crime faced by this public
servant. The public servant is supposed
to act in a neutral manner no matter what their personal beliefs may be.
The second is loyalty which can at
times be hard for the public servant to immediately give the complainant of a
call. This can be an issue since loyalty is a virtue that in most occupations
has to be earned. The trait of loyalty is a must that is expected when you are entrusted
when you are sworn in.
The third is solidarity is a trait
that is common in my profession where we often perform this virtue every day. This
virtue is expected when the community calls you and asks you to perform a task
that they cannot.
I think that the virtue of loyalty
is not necessarily missing but it is one that is lacking far behind the others.
This virtue is one as I spoke of earlier that is one that is not natural to
instantly given to a complete stranger.
I think you can align these values
into your organization by reminding the employees of the oath that they took
when they became peace keepers of the community. This can be reminded by
sending out copies of the law enforcement code of ethics on a quarterly basis.
