Abstract
At a time when police on both sides of the Atlantic are under intense scrutiny; when well-founded accusations of gross misconduct in a toxic culture of misogyny, racism and homophobia plague the UK Met; when racial bias and police shootings in the US strip crime and justice authorities of trust and legitimacy, there is an increasing focus on police ethics and finding ways to reset degrading police culture and restore public confidence. The focus in the UK on police professionalism and education and the introduction of the Policing Education Qualifications Framework cultivated the development of the National Decision Framework (NDM) and the Code of Ethics. The NDM, applicable to the spontaneous and planned, the individual and the team, and the operational and the non-operational, is itself of limited use in a fast-moving incident where the best possible is to keep in mind the mission to act with integrity to protect and serve the public (College of Policing, 2022a).
