Promoting Public Confidence Through Ethics Codes

摘要

The vast majority of public officials are committed to serving the public interest. They care deeply about their communities and view their public position as a trust. They have high aspirations for their own sense of ethics, as well as those of their fellow public servants. What can public officials do to underscore their agency's commitment to ethics and promote ethics within their own agency? Adopt ethics codes, which is exactly what a growing number of local agencies are doing.
