As a new officer within the department employee you witness another officer accepting inappropriate gifts from community members and local businesses, which is in violation of the ethical code of conduct. This officer is well respected, popular, and politically connected within the department. You don’t want to be the person who reports the other officer for fear that it may cause problems for you professionally. What steps/measures do you take regarding ethical conduct?
