Officer Code of Ethics as per the International Chiefs of Police
The Law Enforcement Code of Ethics as promulgated by the International Association of Chiefs of Police in 1991 is hereby adopted with amendments as included below:m
"I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all and will behave in a manner which does not bring discredit to me or my agency. I will maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in obeying the law and the regulations of my department. Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of duty."
m"I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, political beliefs, aspirations, animosities, or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities."
m"I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the police service. I will never engage in acts of bribery nor will I condone such acts by other police officers. I will cooperate with all legally authorized agencies and their representatives in the pursuit of justice."

Someone in Duquesne didn't get this memo!!!

Arbiters Decide... Taxpayers Lose Again!
Back in March of this year, Stubby, in his usual arrogance decided to fire two police officers. Remember this came at the height of the juvenile crimes and lack of police coverage? Anyway, both officers filed greviences and, at the city's request, both were decided by not one but two arbiters at the cost of $5,000 each! Now, both arbiters have independently ruled that Officer Harnyak and Sgt. Ebbitt were wrongfully terminated and are to be re-instated. Once again Stubby's "I did what I did because I could" attitude got the city in a jackpot. Both officers are to be awarded not only back-pay between March & September, but tens-of-thousands of dollars in missed overtime. These monies will come out of the city coffers. i.e. the taxpayers wallets!
