What is the role of ethics in the Public Service?

Question

What role do ethics play in public service decisions? How important are ethics to a public servant and why?

Answer 1

lets take policemen for example

say theres this hot chick, but she's a suspect in a murder. He may think she's the cutest thing since sliced bread but he has to treat her exactly like every other suspect. He's a servant of the law, and he has to set an example for common citizens.

Ethics are extremely important to a public servant because..just that, they serve the public. They are watched by everyone, and our society depends on them to keep everything running smoothly. To mete out justice when it is due, and to protect the comon citizen
