12. The conduct of the ET Audit was fraught with limitations and challenges. Another limitation was the lack of communication at all levels within the organisation to verify past information that was not properly recorded. Other factors affecting the process are as listed:
• Limited dedicated human resources were assigned to the audit coupled with continuous interruptions to work which included ceremonial parades, military funerals, mandated staff assistance to other departments, operational taskings and emergent fatigues and other details.
• There was a lack of clear and consistent communication of and support for the ET Audit regarding the authorisation for and importance of the audit also undermined the execution of the exercise. It was evident that Officers and Senior Rates did not communicate to their subordinates about the criticality of the ET Audit and its significance to them (subordinates).
• Several Officers and Senior Rates also failed to make their personnel available to the Committee, notwithstanding the promulgated authority, to investigate matters. This inability to access personnel from departments consistently challenged data collection efforts.
• Additionally, some Officers and Senior Rates attempted to interfere with and influence the investigations and deliberations of the Committee. Some reports

Arising out of the findings of the Committee, several amendments to CGMs, changes to the governance and administration of the ET System and procedures for the conduct of ET I & II are critical in order to fix the organisation-wide failure of the ET System. Further, in order to prevent the reoccurrence of these issues, clear responsibilities and authority must be established and the ET System itself reviewed and revised. The recommended courses of action, in line with the intended purpose of ET I & II; namely to ensure that Leading Rates (LRs) and Petty Officers (POs) possessed a baseline proficiency in literacy and numeracy, are listed

Based on the reasoning of the caliber of Officer Steele’s moral standards as applied to his civic duties, administration could have prevented this situation by not hiring someone possessing traits that might indicate such unethical behavior. Steele should have been held accountable by the department’s administration for withholding information from the prosecutor regarding the detainment of R.M. while in detention. The lack of team- policing would have restricted Steele’s opportunity to abuse the powers governed to him as a law

During the 2014 evaluation cycle Det. Thomas developed a strained relationship with some patrol officers, as he included irrelevant material in reports, in a manner to shine light on other officer’s deficiencies. He was instructed not to utilize narratives in that manner but document in memo form and advise. I was also provided information from the prosecutor’s office that they did not like Thomas’s approach with them in reference to warrants, or prosecution of cases, and the feeling as though he was trying to tell them how to do their job. It was then requested that all requests come from me in the communication process as they did not feel as though they would receive cooperation from Thomas.
This book begins immediately with some shocking statistics that will allow the police officers in the ethics course to see just how prevalent the code of silence can be. Quinn reports, “only 39 percent of police officers believe fellow officers will report serious criminal violations involving the abuse of authority,” and “52,4 percent of police officers agreed, “It is not unusual for a police officer to turn a blind eye to improper conduct by other officers” (4). The book goes on to discuss why officers partake in the code of silence. A scenario given by the author describes an officer who reports to a domestic violence call and ends up being beaten by the offender. The offender would have killed the officer if it were not for the back up that arrived.
Accountability coincides with expectations, if something is expected from a subordinate and they do not meet that expectation, it is a problem. The book “Black Hearts” mainly focuses on an atrocious offense that took place in Iraq during March of 2006. Four United States Soldiers were under the influence of alcohol while guarding a traffic control point. While drunk on post, the soldiers planned to commit a crime. The soldiers left their assigned guard post in the cover of the night and made their way to a house in a small Iraqi village.
There is no room for inconsistency (Thompson, S., n.d). There need to be measurable goals for each person to hold them accountable for their achievements and also to assess where they need to improve. If training or clarification is needed, management needs to work with the employee or team to establish a need for action. This will address the training is a haphazard issue. Employees might have transferred from other departments or come from other facilities.
According to Lee, Moore, and Kim (2013), some police supervisors are not only reluctant to reveal their subordinates’ misconduct, but are intentionally blind to their officers’ corruption. Oftentimes, supervisors who are willfully ignorant of corrupt behavior resist disciplining their officers, which, in turn, insulates dishonest officers from punishment. Therefore, the failure to discipline problem officers is a proximate cause of continuous police corruption. Frontline police officers are more likely to perceive corruption seriously when their supervisors apply more severe discipline for corrupt behavior. Frontline police officers are less likely to perceive corruption seriously when their departments have a stronger ‘Code of Silence’.
Clients must keep records and books of accounts including cash book, sales ledger, purchases ledger and general ledger.

Are you, as a witness of the atrocity, culpable for the brutality, set forth by police? It is so what author, professor, and attorney, Bryan Stevenson, believes. The following is a quote from Bryan Stevenson’s novel, Just Mercy: “We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation;” (source book). This is not a matter of racial discrimination, but rather an ethical dilemma covering the iniquity of the nation’s proposed peacekeepers.
