Introduction Regardless of the type of police unit, at all times individuals serving under police units must follow specific set principles or codes of conduct that define their service. Although such ethics exist, reports of police failure to obey their work ethics are always in the media, a fact that makes many mistrusts such police units hence, questioning their credibility in achieving justice to all. Codes of ethics are moral standards used as the main behavior evaluating mechanism. That is, regardless of the profession, they are a set of a universally accepted set of rules that guide work performance hence, primary determinants of the nature of relationships, which may exist among different groups in the society. Although in policing the common universal ethics apply, it is important to note that, there is more scrutiny and emphasis on adherence to such ethics; police officers being agents of the peace who serve the entire community (Holden, (n.d.), p.1-2). Although societal values and rules change constantly, at all times the society expects law-enforcing agents to apply the set professional ethics. That is, regardless of the prevailing conditions, there should be no expression of individual ideas and emotions. This should be the case primarily because, to law-enforcing agents, public well-being and interest take precedence; a fact that sometimes depicts how much the country and its ruling elite value democracy. Treating all individuals in a humane manner is one aspect of conduct, which all police officers must embrace. This goes hand in hand with performing duties correctly without any supervision; a fact that many law-enforcing agents have taken advantage of and misused the opportunity for their own good (Holden, (n.d.), pp. 4-7) Role of the Code of Ethics One primary role of the policing code of ethics is defining the acceptable standards under which police should perform their duties. Considering this, the code of ethics is an important tool during the qualifying of law-enforcing agents from training camps as a tool to usher them into their duties.

According to the police code of ethics, at all times the state expects any law-enforcing agent to offer their service to all community members with no business; offer the required security to both personal and corporate property; ensure that there is peace and respect of all individual rights in the society, and maintain justice and respect in the society. In addition, according to the police code of ethics, at all times law-enforcing agents must ensure that their private lives never interfere with their service because their badges represent the nature of trust and faith the entire society bestows on them. Closely related to the code of ethics is the code of conduct whose primary role is to ensure police officers enforce the law to their uttermost potentials (Napa Valley Criminal Justice Training Center, 2009, p.1). In addition to being an oath tool, the codes of ethics give specifications and procedures, which police officers should use as they deliver their service. This includes guidelines for arrest, investigation, and presentation of evidence in pro
