Based on a survey in 2019, this study used primary data based on a scenario-basedquestionnaire survey with a total sample of 535 respondents. Findings From a self-proclaim perspective, the results show that secondment and training factors have a positive relationshipwith the ethical integrity of local enforcement offi cers. From a colleague perception perspective, the results indicatethat the secondment factor has a positive relationship with ethical integrity.
