from green marble, the Ethical Courage Award is
intended to honor and reflect the character and
actions of the person to whom it is presented.
The raw material, marble, symbolizes strength,
endurance and permanence. Green - the color of
truth - symbolizes virtue, honesty and authenticity.
When bestowed, the Ethical Courage Award is presented
during the proceedings of the Ethics Center's
International Ethics Conference.
2010 Ethics Achievement Award Chief Mark Field
In December 2000, Chief Mark Field and his leadership team took the courageous step of shaping the department into a values-based organization which eliminated 755 traditional rules and regulations and replaced them with a Statement of Quality and a set of 8 core principles that would guide the organization into the future. Throughout his career, Chief Field has always provided police leadership with an outstanding role model of ethics, integrity, service and innovation. We had the distinct honor of presenting this Ethics Achievement Award to Chief Field for his exemplary demonstration of ethical leadership at a formal conference ceremony on March 25.
Since being awarded for the first time in 1998, this award has been intended to recognize an individual or an organization for especially meritorious leadership or courage related to law enforcement ethics and integrity. Included among the annual awards are those for Ethical Courage, Noble Service and Ethics Achievement. |
