There are ethical challenges in every aspect of the criminal justice system. Administrators are responsible for setting the tone for ethical conduct in the administration and operation of their agency.

You are to assume the role of the head (Chief, Director, Warden, etc.) of a fictitious criminal justice agency; e.g., police department or sheriff's office, local detention center (adult or juvenile) prosecutors' office, trial court, probation agency, correctional institution, parole board, parole agency, etc.

As the head administrator, youdecide it is in the best interest of your agency to have a policy that sets forth how the agency will operate in an ethical manner.... similar to a Code of Ethical Conduct

In your paper you are to describe in detail your plan to insure ethical practices in your selected agency.

NOTE: The content ofyour ethicspolicy or code is irrelevant and, but for clarification or reference purposes should not be included in this project paper. Instead, the paper should concentrate on your plan to make and Implement it.
