25
Explain the link between discretion and the Rule of Law - PPP147 and PPP154
- While police have discretion available to them, they must be able to justify its use. - A police officer will be held accountable for their use of discretion.

Actual  This is where a conflict exists between your official duties or responsibilities and your private interests. Perceived  Where it could be seen by others that your private interests could improperly interfere with or influence you in the performance of your official duties or responsibilities, whether or not this is in fact the case. Potential  Where your private interests could interfere with or influence your official duties or responsibilities in the future. In other words, there is no conflict of interest at this time, but if not managed appropriately, it has the potential to become one.

There are certain occupations and industries that are deemed incompatible with police work or high risk to do both. For example; working behind the bar at a pub and serving alcohol. 3) Declarable associations - Your brother has a history of drug activity. This is obviously a relationship that you cannot terminate as you are related, but you must declare it so that it can be managed.

Moral vulnerability is when police officers' morals erode over time because of the nature of the job.
