Part 1
a) I would write down the incident to make sure that I have a record of what was happening. Keeping a record of the event will be my defense in case the probationer decides to report the matter, therefore, indicating that I was not a part of the insults (“Today’s Prisoners – Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners – NCBI Bookshelf,” n.d.).
b) I would advise my fellow officer to stop the relationship since they are violating the code of conduct. It is unethical to date a probationer hence I would encourage the probation officer to wait until the probation has been terminated before they can move in with the probationer (“Ethical Issues in the Field of Probation,” n.d.).
c) I would have a forum with the officer and talk to her about the importance of meeting her targets and educate her on how to be organized (In Arrigo, 2014).
d) I would talk to him about ways to avoid sleeping at work, therefore, ensuring that he attains his goals.

Part 2
There are two major themes addressed in the book. The first theme deals with power and authority in the criminal justice structures.

The second topic discussed in the book is ethical issues when it comes to leadership (Pollock, 2014). These two themes are intertwined since leaders are always facing challenges on how to use their power while at the same time observing the code of conduct.
The subject about the need to keep ethics in leadership had the greatest impact on people in authority has to make decisions that conform to the code of conduct at their places of work. When leaders observe ethics, then team members are obliged to observe the code of conduct too (“Forbes Welcome,” n.d.).
One theme that I did not grasp discusses the informal practices found in the criminal justice structures.
The theme that has an impact on my career is the need for leaders to observe ethics. Observing ethics by all individuals will eliminate prejudice in the criminal justice systems since everyone will be treated equally (Ciulla, Uhl-Bien, & Werhane, 2013). When I observe ethics as a leader, I will promote equity and justice as expected of every professional in the law enforcement agencies.
