Question: Scenario 23 THE TIME LOG All of the officers in your department are required to submit time logs for off-duty court appearances. Off-duty court appearances equate to time- and-a-half for pay purposes. It is virtually a common practice for the officers in your squad to give an inflated version of the length of time they spend in court. You are the reporting officer in an armed robbery case. After waiting 10 minutes for your case to be called, the clerk announces a continuance. Ethically, how should you submit your log?
Ethically, you should submit your log with the accurate amount of time you spent in court for the off-duty court appearance. In this scenario, since you only waited for 10 minutes before the clerk announced a continuance, your log should reflect this 10-minute duration. Inflating the length of time spent in court is dishonest and goes against the professional and ethical standards that officers should uphold. It is essential to maintain transparency and honesty in your work, even if others around you choose to act unethically. Remember, you have a responsibility to represent your department with integrity and to uphold the public trust.
