Yeah, i dunno know why i posted that either. I guess i just hear integrity mentioned so often i thought I might post an exact definition.
Should i be trying to up my post count?? Do I get a prize that I just reached 20 for example?? Ahh is that where the donuts come in??
There is a very valid reason you hear this. If you cannot trust a LEO, if they lie, cheat, scam, other than subterfuge in the line of duty, they have no right wearing the badge.Originally Posted by West Country

Wonder why someone from 'professional standards" would think integrity is so important?? Hehe j/k
The best traits of a cop are honesty, integrity, good decision making ability, compassion, common sense, being a teamplayer,.....honestly too many to name.
