· Next, compare and contrast the concepts of ethics coming from the top, training ethics, and controlling one’s self found in the article with that of establishing a police value system found in the text. Decide whether or not the concepts relate, and justify your position.

· Explain the concepts of intrinsic and instrumental values, and provide at least two (2) examples that illustrate how each set of values is crucial to ensure ethical law enforcement.
