Abstract

This paper aims to clarify the operational ethical values of the police activity from the perspective of developing the institutional capacity of the police to act as guarantor of the rule of law. Professional virtue represents the ability to continuously perform one's professional duty with fairness, honesty, and responsibility, avoiding any behavior that undermines the professional dignity of the police officer.
