Code of Conduct
For years now I've been highly critical of the way the police dept treats us
when we have a problem. I can now say I had the first good experience out of
over 10 years with the Flint Police Dept. I'm not going into that now. But I
will talk about it later.
03-10-2006 Well now it's later. NO
FOLLOW UP! I guess one can hope.
One thing that surprises me is. I cannot find the
code of conduct for the police dept online. I've looked online at the Flint
website. It should be posted at the Department to remind Officers daily of who
they are! Just like in the USMC. You find reminders constantly of who you are
and what your responsibilities are.
Some of the things posted in most every building and work space.
Code of conduct.
Motto.
Leadership Steps.
Leadership Traits. (some with definitions)
Historic dates in USMC history.
Names of Famous Marines in History.
Banners, Unit and company.
Placards of USMC sayings such as "Once a Marine always a Marine"
Constant reinforcement of God, Country, Corps.
Constant reinforcement of Pride in Unit, Corps and Country.
Constant reinforcement of Duty, Honor, integrity.
Constant reminder of Traditions
And when it comes time for promotion boards. Much of the things you are asked
are about the things you see everyday.
I'm not saying posting reminders of "Protect and Serve" in the department are
going to make changes. Only that I see little or no evidence of any
reinforcement of what they are, what their responsibilities are, who they work
for, etc.
