JUSTICE OUTLINE 3 2. Body A. Main topic #1: Idea of Justice: - As different human beings, we all have a personal opinion on what is right and what is wrong, based on specific beliefs. Even though “justice” and “law” mean different things, justice is established by the laws of a country. Justice is the action by treating every individual as equal without considering their race, color, gender , nationality, religion, wealth, age, profession, disability etc, in front of the written laws. Hence, it is the administration of justice — impartiality to give equal ability to everyone to exercise their rights and presuming the wrongdoer to be innocent first until proven guilty. - As stated by Ronald Hunter, Thomas Barker and Melchor C. de Guzman in the Police Community Relations and the Administration of Justice textbook, justice requires these 6 components: Compliance with the rule of law equity, fairness, accessibility, effectiveness, oversight. By doing that, we allow a fairness justice system to build up in the system in its own way, and that is the whole point of the exercise of administering justice. B. Main topic #2: Expectation of Employees: - In order to define and understand what the definition of "justice" is, everyone can easily do it, but to implement justice, that is exactly what every agency is aiming for. Therefore, what I expect from my officers and deputies is to always maintain integrity, responsibility and honesty while JUSTICE OUTLINE 4 on and off duty. In addition, professional ethics, personal ethics, respect and fairness have always been a top priority. And lastly, I don't expect misconduct like fraud, dishonesty and any type of harassment, and all of that will not be tolerated if it happens C. Main topic #3: Stating mission and how other employees will follow it : - To work well together, we need empathy, listening and sharing and as your new chief of police I am here with you to repair, change and grow our community together. As a chief of police, I and my officers are obligated to take responsibility for each of our actions and actions. The wrong behaviors and situations in any case will be investigated and scrutinized to give the right punishment according to each level of law. If the situation is too serious or individuals in the company continue to commit wrongdoing, dismissal or suspension will be implemented. Because transparency in the law enforcement always needs to be clarified in order to master the trust of the people as well as enhance the professionalism and integrity of a policeman. - When working in a team or an organization, it is inevitable that disagreements will arise. If you have different opinions and any concerns, I am willing to discuss it with you. If you disagree about my ideas or my missions, feel free to email me so we can work it out together.
