Setting an example of personal conduct that exemplifies an adherence to a strong code of ethics is the best choice as it creates a positive culture and influences line officers to adopt ethical behavior. Constantly reminding the line officers that they can be fired if they do not perform well may create fear and insecurity, and raising their salaries may not necessarily impact their attitudes and conduct.
