Read each scenario carefully and make an assessment indicating whether you think the situation
is Ethical, Not Ethical, or Questionable. Explain in 1-2 sentences you reasoning. Don’t assume or
otherwise “read” anything into each scenario that isn’t plainly stated.
1. A police officer is sitting in a restaurant with three fishing buddies on a day off. He is in
plainclothes and is not noticed by two patrol officers sitting at the counter having coffee. The
uniformed patrol officers get up and leave without paying or even leaving a tip. One of the
civilian fishing partners also observes this and comments that this place really appreciates
having police around because of the rough neighborhood. In fact, the owner had just been
telling him how great the guys were and that a little free coffee is mighty cheap insurance.
Both officers are good men and have been on the department about five to six years. What
should you do?
Questionable. I believe this is questionable because although the owner thinks that its
cheap insurance the officers should have left a tip for getting free coffee.
2. A liquor store owner on your post asks you to escort him to the bank two blocks away after
he closes so that he can make a night deposit. It’s 11 PM and it’s a high-crime area.
Ethical. I believe it is ethical because it is a police officer’s duty to make sure the people
of the community feel safe at all time.
3. An automobile repossession man stops you on the street and offers you $25 if you can locate
a certain car for him. He gives you his business card and tells you that all you have to do is
find the car and call in the location, the same as his civilian “spotters.” No other involvement
on your part is required.
Not Ethical. I believe it is not ethical because a police officer should not be taking a
bribe to help someone else the automobile repossession man could ask the police for
help without biding him.
