Code of Ethics

We’re updating the Code of Ethics and would like to know what you think of the proposed new version.

The Code of Ethics sets out how we work together in policing and with the public, so we can keep people safe. It provides a framework to guide the actions taken and decisions made by police officers, police staff, special constables and volunteers every day.

Everyone in policing has to make important and difficult decisions daily. These can raise complex ethical issues because they affect other people, often at the worst moment of their lives. Deciding what to do is rarely straightforward.

We would like to know what you think of the proposed new version of the Code of Ethics. We want to hear from people across policing, our partner organisations, the public and charities.

Have your say in shaping a modern-day police service you are proud of by taking part in the Code of Ethics consultation and ensuring it has a practical application to everyday policing.
