Pick ONE of the following dilemmas and complete your ethical dilemma assignment:

· Ethical Dilemma One: Imagine you are an officer with HPD. A fellow officer who you know as an acquaintance was just involved in a use of deadly force, where they used their firearm on an individual that was, as they claim “an immediate threat to them” at the time. Something does not sit well with you, however, because you have heard this specific officer make racist comments at times, and the individual they used deadly force on was a person of color. You are conflicted on whether you should bring up this history to your superiors.

· Ethical Dilemma Two: You are Precinct Captain that is over a precinct that recently begun using tasers as an alternative to other use of force options. You notice that firearm usage is down, but the number of complaints against officers and instances of non-lethal force has increased. As the Precinct Captain, how would you address this issue.

· Ethical Dilemma Three: You are currently in the process of interrogating a suspect that you are certain is guilty of a crime. Your partner approaches you with some fake lab results they had printed up, linking the suspect to the crime scene. Do you use the lab results in the interrogation?
