This subject allows serving police officers to reflect on their sworn policing duties with a view to enhancing ethical practice and accountability within that work. The issue of being accountable for what they do - ie. acting with integrity - rather than simply being held accountable will be a central theme throughout the subject. At all times, students attention will be directed to their actual experiences in the workplace and to ways of critically evaluating those experiences.
