Special to The Times

Enforcing rules keeps cops hon
Hundreds of Illinois law enforcement officials gathered in the metro-east this weekend as part of an Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference.
The 2008 Winter Training and Officer Installation Conference is at the Gateway Center in Collinsville.
On Saturday, attorney Randolph Means, of North Carolina, presented a workshop on law enforcement management ethics.
"Most of our so-called ethical problems in law enforcement are not a result of a lack of integrity," said Means, who has worked in law enforcement for 28 years and lectured all over the country. "More often they are the result of lack of information."
Instead of preaching not to lie or cover up things, Means said he would lecture about "applied ethics," which he called the managing ethics required to be in place to help police work ethically.
Means said it is the duty of police management to make sure that officers are informed about and prepared to enforce federal constitutional law.
"Enforce your rules," Means advised the crowd. "And if you don't plan to enforce a rule, you need to get rid of it and then enforce your rule."
The conference began Friday and will continue through Monday.
Today, attorney and animal activist Ledy VanKavage will speak about the ineffectiveness of banning specific breeds of dogs as a safety measure. VanKavage is the senior director of legislation and legal training for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
As previously announced, Glen Carbon Chief of Police David Bradford is being installed as the president of the group at the conference.
The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police has more than 600 active municipal police chiefs and law enforcement professionals.
