Building on the success of the first edition, "Ethics for the Public Service Professional, 2e" will be a single-source reference for the topic of ethics and ethical decision making as it relates to government service, and service within the areas of homeland security and emergency services at the local, county, state, and federal levels. This text will discuss the challenges faced by today's public service professionals and administrators with regards to incorporating ethics within daily decisions, discretion, and duties. This in-depth reference will help to eliminate the warped impressions created by modern dramas as to what is ethical and what is discretionary within the confines of a public servant's job. The text will involve a thorough examination of the history of ethics, codes and legislation relating to public service. This text will be essential for the foundational development and explanation of protocols used within a successful organization for those persons new to the realm of emergency services and will serve as a reference for those already involved within the field.
