This article addresses the use of officer-generated dilemmas in teaching law enforcement ethics classes for both in-service training and university students. The personal dilemmas provide the grist for discussion about decision making and about the philosophical framework from which the decisions derive. Included are descriptions of the more common ethical philosophies, how they may be used to resolve various officer-generated dilemmas, and how recognizing dilemmas and different ethical philosophies may result in different resolutions. The article concludes with the statement that the identification of common dilemmas and the employment of ethical philosophies in resolving them lead to the development of a personal ethical philosophy
