Organisational Corruption

I responded to the article from Canada the other day with regards to the paymnt made to a police officer by his own forces after the officer appears to have tried to expose corruption within the organisation and himself had become the victim of an organisatonal action against him.

I am undertaking reserach into organisational reponses to internal corruption and would be interested in any , views, opnions or experiences members may have with regards to organisational responses to internal corruption issues.

Not many people seem to be using the forum however I am assured that the identity of the users is anoymous. So please if you have a view share it with me it.

If you do not wish to publish your resonse on this notice borad we can use the private messenger attached to the forum. 

Thank

I am new to this forum, but found it interesting to read the incidents that happen in other organizations. 

In my agency, we are going through a re-organization of command.  In their eyes, we have too many chiefs and not enough indians.  This is creating an uncomfortable enviroment with alot of nit-picking and in-fighting.  I have found that when acts by the administration that violate the rules and regulations or policy or the contract are pointed out to the administration; they either ignore the notice, penalize the notifying officer, or make blanket changes that impact and pressure subordinates.  Sometimes the peer pressure of "please don't make waves" or "look what happened that last time you caught them", makes it difficult for officers to continue to do the right thing and hold ALL members to the same level.

I am not surprised at the posting about the 'Organisational' issue with regards to internal standards and what really amounts to 'Professional Standards Reporting' it does seem from the poll published in the journal that the majority of people see unethical behaviour but would not report it because they feel they will not get the support of the 'Organisation' and that they will be seen as causing problemd rather than a person trying to resolve problems and preventing others from becoming involved in unethical behaviour.

Taking into account the poll results in the journal what does this posting  really say about personal and organisational ethics. ?

Do other members have any views?
