This concept of institutional loyalty within law enforcement, and the prioritizing of the institution over individual members or public service always leads to ethical dilemmas. Those dilemmas lead to police corruption or internal betrayal. The solution isn't complicated. The truth should always be the goal. As soon as a high ranking members considers how to deal with an issue through the lens of "protecting the organization" - they have already started down the wrong path.

Did those in the picture protect members or the Buffalo at all costs? Loyalty and friendship, which is to me the same, created all the wealth that I've ever thought I'd have. - Ernie Banks The difference between Ernie Banks and many in the RCMP, driven into members from depot onward, is that their loyalty is to the Buffalo—wildly misplaced. Those who choose this rather than loyalty to each other and the public they serve, always doing the right thing rather than the expected "protect the force at all costs," may never make it to the top but are indeed the ones who deserve our respect, admiration and our loyalty to them. Again, I ask, did those in the picture protect members or the Buffalo at all costs?
