Assessment Topic and Intro: What do we do when those mandated to protect us are serving other interests than public safety? In South Africa, traffic police corruption leaves road users exposed to a high rate of fatalities on the road and causes distrust of the traffic police service while allowing lawlessness to flourish. Unethical conduct may never be eliminated at the personal level or organisational level, but there are ways to reduce it. In light of the statement above, identify and discuss the factors contributing to unethical conduct within a law enforcement environment, the impact of unethical conduct on communities or the road, and measures to overcome unethical conduct within the traffic law enforcement environment.
Lack of interest, motivation and indepth knowledge of job description. In my view, a traffic police officer lacks any one of the aforementioned factors is a threat to the immediate community and should face disciplinary measure of compulsory retirement, and in the alternative, be sent on continuing education to relearn the job essence@
