INTRODUCTION

Police Ethics consists of the self-regulation of the behavior of policemen and women to
exercise their public function within strict compliance with the law within the
framework of respect for Human Rights, the dignity of people and public liberties, in
terms of efficiency, integrity, transparency and orientation towards the common good.

Ethics is the philosophical discipline whose purpose is the study of human morality,
from the point of view of its justification. I exchange value judgments when they apply
to the distinction of good and evil. It deals with the principles or guidelines of human
conduct, which is governed by a set of values Importance

Ethics plays an important role in the fulfillment of the police function, since the police
are the first link in the justice system; holds by delegation of the holders, the police
power, with the capacity to protect and therefore to place limits on the rights and
freedoms of people, in the cases determined by law.

Law 1267, indicates in its preliminary title the aspects that a police officer must
strengthen to provide a correct service to the population and that they feel satisfied with
your work as a good national police officer of Peru.

WHAT IS POLICE ETHICS?

Ethics comes from the Greek "Ethos" which means "character", understanding as a way
of being personality that is acquired by force of acts, customs, habits and virtue. Ethics
is a discipline of philosophy that studies human behavior and its relationship with the
notions of good and evil, moral precepts, duty, happiness and common welfare, defines
the laws or standards to which the activity must conform. Or human behavior to make it
truly human.

Ethics and human being are two terms that are conjugated with each other, constituting
the first in the fundamental tool to achieve that we act as reflective, critical and rational
beings, calculators of our actions and their consequences in the various areas of life.

Ethics is the science that studies the goodness or badness of human acts. Therefore we
can determine that its material object of study is human acts and its formal object is the
goodness or badness of said acts.

With this definition we have that Ethics has two aspects, one of a scientific nature and
the other of a rational nature.

The scientific character that it gives based on the fact that ethics is a science, since it
uses the scientific method, which is in charge of corroborating by all possible means the
adequacy of the model with reality. Let's remember that the initial model proposed by
science is a hypothesis and that thanks to the scientific method, the hypothesis can be
verified and at that moment it is already a well-founded model. What you do is present a
valuable behavior paradigm that the man must perform.

The rational character comes from the use of reason. Ethics is not an experimental
science, but a rational one, since it bases its ethical models through reason. This reason
provides us with causes, reasons, and the reason for goodness in a behavior carried out.

With all this it can be said that Ethics is concerned with providing the reasons why
certain behaviors are good and therefore worthy of being carried out, as well as arguing
against bad behaviors such as homicide, drug addiction, deceit, theft , etc.

TRAFFIC CONTROL AND PUBLIC ORDER

Police ethics works a lot in these police units because they are in contact with the
population and this is where you should further strengthen your values, police ethics sets
the ethical guidelines for labor development, through the application of universal habits
and values that each human being possesses; all this within a professional environment..
The ethical issues here are corruption and abuse of authority.

 CORRUPTION
Recent events once again denote a
very serious situation of the
practice of corruption at the highest
levels of the officialdom of the
National Police and the Ministry of
the Interior. We are referring to the
well-known events related to the
irregular and corrupt provision of
security services by the National Police. These events allow us to understand a little
more how routine or habitual it is to find, for example, various Traffic Police officers
who are bought into their public function with the purpose of not fulfilling their
functions of imposing tickets for traffic violations or enforcing them or also find non-
commissioned officers or officers of the same Police who are bought in their functions
of preparing police reports related to preliminary investigations, among many other
cases. Here the institutional values that are in article VIII of Law 1267 are affected.

 AUTHORITY ABUSE
7
Abuse of authority is the act of taking
advantage of and misusing the power
provided by holding a position or
function in front of a third party. This fact
alludes to and turns out to be unfair, due
to an excessive use of inherent powers
that are held, thanks to a superior
position, against an individual who is in a
situation of subordination.
In the Peruvian environment, this act is a social problem that converges with other
crimes committed by public officials against society. Mostly, it is committed by those
officials in charge of national security and who have the power of the public force
provided by the State for the exercise of their position. As is the case of the members of
the National Police of Peru who go too far in terms of the violence they exert on
individuals, by detaining them without a warrant, or under flagrante delicto.
In addition, citizens observe how in the Peruvian political environment these crimes
have been committed by public officials, by carrying out or ordering an arbitrary act
indirectly, through other people, to achieve the satisfaction of their personal interests, in
accordance with the reports and journalistic investigation carried out by the country's
prosecutor's office.

police officer must take into account all the points found in this Law to prevent
him from committing a crime and being separated from the institution.

The best way to develop a great work ethic is to be consistent in the way you
think, say, and act. Coherence is a value that allows us to think in a certain way,
speak according to those thoughts, and act following the words and ideas
expressed.

when things don't go as planned. Admit your mistakes and use them as learning
experiences so you don't fall for the same thing again. Likewise, expect your
employees to meet the same expectations, and support those who accept
responsibility rather than blame others.
