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.

The killing of Philandro Castille, for example, is not about ethics, it is about a police reaction to a perceived threat. The perceived threat might be deemed unfounded and the police action might be an overreaction, but these are not ethical considerations.

Ethical considerations would be lying, creating false documents, fabricating evidence, ignoring relevant evidence, etc.

Also, cases that do not involve a “public response” are not appropriate for this assignment. The “Police Agency Reaction to Public Response and Possible Police Leadership Courses of Action to Prevent Future Violations” is a key element of the assignment that is weighted with 35 points . If you choose a case for which there was no public response, you will not be able to earn any of these points.

If you have any doubts about what case to choose , discuss it with me.
