The value and worth of a law enforcement agency is determined by the people it serves. If the public perceives that officers are not fair in administering their duties, they will become suspicious and distrustful of law enforcement in general. This feeling will undoubtedly lead to deteriorating relationships. Therefore, it is necessary that the law enforcement community work diligently to foster relationships based on trust with the people it serves.
