Non-consensual recordings of meetings and conversations are becoming increasingly prevalent within policing owing to the ubiquity of smartphones. Whilst there is little in the way of legislative restraint, nevertheless, it is capable of causing serious harm and should not be considered a morally neutral act. It is possible for surreptitious recordings to be ethically justified, but the threshold for such justification is high and requires an exceptional set of circumstances. The article goes on to present a tripartite typology of the behaviour and from this to develop a misconduct framework for assessing the seriousness of the behaviour and making a number of recommendations to reduce the incidence of covert recording.

BBC 10/7/2020 News Enhancing Police Engagement: An Examination of the Links Between Fair Treatment and Job Engagement in A Canadian Police Organization This study examined the relationships between organizational justice and job engagement, and whether these relationships were stronger for civilian staff vs police officers. Using survey data from a Canadian police organization, the results suggested that when police personnel perceived they were treated fairly, they were more likely to have a sense of psychological safety, which, in turn, enhanced their identification with their organization and increased their engagement with work. Findings further demonstrated that distributive justice (i.e., equitable outcomes) was more important to police officers than civilian staff, particularly, in relation to enhancing their attachment with the organization. In other words, as perceptions of distributive justice increased so did organizational identification; however, this effect was strongest for police officers. In general, organizational justice has positive implications for police organizations, namely in encouraging police personnel to engage their full selves at work.
