Slide 12
The Challenges and conflicts in Implementation of the code are discussed in this slide. There are
cultural issues which have to be considered for the purpose of implementing a code of ethics.
The culture of UK is a lot different from the culture in Abu Dhabi and thus the implementation o
the code would be difficult. The code will create a conflict between personal interest and
professional interest where priority must be given to professional interest. The laws which are
applicable in UK are also different from that of Abu Dhabi thus the implementation of the code
is more difficult.
Slide 13
The Drawbacks and Disadvantages of implementing the code of ethics are as follows. The
implementation of a code of ethics is done to ensure that it is equally applicable on all persons.
However as it is not legally binding the higher officers may escape its effect. Another drawback
in relation to the code of ethics application is that it deals with policing in UK which is
significantly different from policing in Abu Dhabi thus it is unspecific.
Slide 14
There are specific ways of addressing the above discussed problems. The code of ethics has to be
customized in accordance to the culture of Abu Dhabi. Vague terms like reasonableness have to
be precisely defined as the terms may have a different interpretation in the cultures. The code of
ethics has to be restructured as per the regulation if Abu Dhabi police and thus have to be made
more specific in nature.
