請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 Police career is a profession that demands higher ethical standards than others. It is often said that police officers
are like living in a transparent fish tank, being watched all the time. The majority of police officers are dedicated and
hard-working, serving the people and doing the right things. All police officers have ideals: integrity and honesty,
justice and courage. Yet, sometimes, we heard stories of bad cops doing bad things—bribery, misuse of force, abuse of
authority, etc. These are the black sheep that hurt the entire profession and violate police code of ethics. Police officers
should never permit personal feelings, prejudices, political beliefs, aspirations, animosities or friendships to influence
their decisions. The following Law Enforcement Oath of Honor is recommended by the International Association of
Chiefs of Police(IACP)as a symbolic statement of commitment to ethical behavior:
On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the
courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold my community and the agency I
serve.
The Oath of Honor’s brevity allows it to be constantly referred to and reinforced during conversations and
ceremonies. It is strongly recommended by the IACP that all agencies adopt the Law Enforcement Oath of Honor.
