SJPD Chief Talks Ethics With N

SJPD Chief Personally Teaches

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Oakland had the riders and San Francisco dealt with the fajita fiasco.

Now, San Jose Police Chief Robert Davis is working to make sure his new recruits understand the importance of ethics.

During students' 24 weeks in the San Jose Police Academy, they learn the importance of ethics.


Davis teaches the course on ethics himself.

"Whenever you have an officer say, 'We do this all the time,' what that means is, 'I've done it occasionally and have not been caught,'" Davis said.

Davis said that the community has an expectation and a right that police officers working for them are ethical, have high standards and are objective in the way they enforce the law.

"In other words, that they're professional out there," Davis said.

To Davis, ethics may perhaps be more powerful than the gun his officers carry and more powerful than the authority of their badges, Trujillo reported.

"By my coming out here and doing it, I serve notice on to my officers that this is an important topic, and I'm going to appeal to them and make the case very, very clearly that that's something we expect of you at the San Jose Police Department," Davis said.

"I think it's excellent, as high profile as he is, taking time to come down and teach this important class," said one recruit.

"I think it's fantastic. It humanizes him in a way," said another recruit.

The 51 recruits for the SJPD are scheduled for graduation on June 15 -- as long as they pass Davis' ethics class.
