Hello everyone, I’d like to take a moment to welcome you to my blog.  My name is Anthony Russo and I am currently a graduate student at Troy University.  Over the next several weeks I will be dealing with an issue that hits home with me, ethics as they relate to law enforcement.  I have been a police officer for the last twenty years.  Throughout the course of my career I have seen officers and supervisors deal with a myriad of ethically charged issues.  My blog will be focused on current event issues with a sprinkling of personal experiences.

As you will gather from reading my blog, I see very little wiggle room from police officers as it relates to ethical issues.  When an officer gets on the wrong side of the law they have not only neglected the trust put in them by the public, but they have also betrayed themselves and their family.

I’d love to hear from anyone who would like to discuss these issues. I hope to use my personal experiences to shed light on some of the recent stories that deal with police officers and unethical behavior.
