Question: Scenario 21 THE FREEBIE For the past several months, you have been stopping by the same convenience store in your patrol area to purchase gum, soda, and potato chips. Last week, a new owner purchased the store. During one of your work breaks, you walk in and the new owner says, "Officer, how nice to see you. Feel free to help yourself to anything you want.

Ethically, you should politely decline the offer and continue paying for your gum, soda, and potato chips as usual. Accepting free items, even if it's a kind gesture from the store owner, could create a sense of obligation or the appearance of a conflict of interest. Inform the store owner that you appreciate their support and gratitude, but as an officer, it is your responsibility to maintain professionalism and uphold ethical standards by not accepting free items.
