You have picked a good topic to expound on! Just about everything anyone does on a daily basis involves ethics. Whether you think you should do something or not because it is “right” or “wrong”. In the intelligence community, this is even more of a big deal that just in regular life. The operators in the intelligence community do things every day that are questionable. I agree with you source that there should be a “code of ethics” that should be public. In doing this, it will strengthen the public trust and help them gain the backing they need. That code would make agents more accountable as well. Keeping the sensitive information sensitive, the action of these agents would be governed by this code. This seems to be a very good

The provincial government supplements the agency’s budget by paying for the service work my agency does for their clients. The 9:00 am time slot has been reserved for health ministry and child protection authority referrals. It is prepaid by the provincial government. By booking an EAP client in a provincial government slot the agency is illegally profiting because they are getting paid twice for one client. According to BCACC code of ethics (2014) the RCC will “avoid exploitation of others for personal, professional, or financial gain” (p. 7), it is my responsibility to act with the “highest integrity possible in every situation” (BCACC Code of Ethics, 2008, p. 7). Thus, I would have to avoid conflicts of interest between me, my agency, and my supervisor. I would seek advisory from my association or an external supervisor regarding this conflict. I am also concerned about the well-being of the provincial government’s clients (Board of Directors, 2014, p. 6), and their right for counselling service.
Daley (1972) wrote an article in the Personnel and Guidance Journal calling for a reform in counseling hiring and electing practices within the American Personnel and Guidance Association (APGA), later known as the American Counseling Association (ACA). The crystal stair terminology Dr. Daley refers to (p. 494) is a saying that illustrates a life that is full of hardships, a climb to the proverbial top that is neither easy or smooth. While Dr. Daley remained hopeful that a tide was starting to turn, over 40 years later, progress has been lackluster. According to the American Psychological Association (2015), racial and ethnic minority groups account for less than one-fifth of the mental health workforce in 2013. This indicates the crystal stairs are still full of hardships for minority practitioners and clients within the profession.
The Austin Technology Council is a non-profit entity that interacts with over 280 different tech and life sciences companies on a day-to-day basis. The Council is looked after by a number of boards and committees and overseas the Austin Technology Council Foundation, a non-profit foundation that nurtures STEM learning opportunities in Austin youths. Not only that, but ATC has a very lucrative partnership with the City of Austin and has to complete a set number of community focused events and reports to retain city approval and continued endorsement. All of this being said, one would think that an entity such as this would have a formal, written code of ethics. This would, however, be woefully incorrect. ATC does not have a written code of ethics,
After reading and meditating on the IRA Code of Ethics and the COE’s Conceptual Framework, I was enlightened on how far I have come in my 4 years of teaching. Although I exhibit and display many of the IRA Code of Ethics, there are still areas in my professional practices that need improvement. The COE’s Conceptual Framework (2015) states “we believe that all students can learn and that highly effective, innovative and collaborative teaching and administration maximizes best practices as well as student learning and achievement. Effective teachers and administrators are highly educated, skilled, committed and compassionate; they ensure all students learn to the best of their ability”(p.1). I agree with this statement. I believe my strength
While working in law enforcement, whether it may be a police officer, a correctional prison guard, or a probation officer you always have to always act professionally at all times no matter who you are working with. If you do not show respect you will not get any respect. There are many people out there that want respect while they are in prison, but sometimes you have to earn it. Having ethical standards is a key importance too. When you are working especially in the prison you must obey the code of ethics because they do not want to hear about what is going on at your home. Keep calm in whatever situation you come across because you have no clue what type of situation you will come across. So having the best ethical and professional practice

The following is the code of ethics between the York Regional Police and The Canadian Nurses Association.
As we examine the case of “Cop Gets 15 Years in Torture Case”, we evaluate from four different perspectives the different ethical theories; ethical relativism, ethical egoism, deontological ethics and ontological ethics to determine how the different perspectives support or condemn the conduct in this case study. The case involves the brutal sodomizing of a black male Haitian immigrant, Abner Louima by two white New York police officers in 1997 (Hays, 2000). Upon review of each perspective, we will recommend which ethical theory resolves the issue in a manner that supports the actions of the officers.

First adopted in 1914, the code of ethics for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is the model for professional conduct for all ASCE members. The code of ethics is an excellent model as it is broken down into eight canons for further understanding. The purpose of each canon is to serve as a guide and reminder for professional engineers that they are to have the moral and ethical integrity the profession calls for at all times while holding safety paramount. The ASCE code of ethics is very informative and insightful because although each canon does not go into great depth, the canons leave room for interpretation under different situations.
Every year, law enforcement agency around the world are promoting employees to various positions within their organization who have meet certain criteria or qualifications. Those candidates are generally based on those who have received satisfactory or above on yearly performance reviews, shown leadership skills, taken further educational or career training classes, or have continuously gone above and beyond during their employment.

Autonomy - this principle means that it is a form of personal liberty; the individual is free to make choices and to implement those decisions, free from deceit, duress, constraint or coercion.
