2008
Ethics Achievement Award
Chief Henry Fluck
Cedar Park, TX
Police Department
On March 27, 2008, during a special ceremony at the annual Contemporary Issues and Ethics Conference, the Center for Law Enforcement Ethics at the Institute for Law Enforcement Administration presented Chief Henry Fluck of the Cedar Park, TX, Police Department, with the prestigious Ethics Achievement Award.
Chief Henry Fluck was nominated for the “Ethics Achievement Award” by the many members of his staff who prize him as a “man of vision dedicated to the continuous improvement of his organization.” Chief Fluck inspires and maintains professional integrity by not only requiring that the employees in his organization know and enact their organizational values, but also by modeling those values both in his personal and workplace life.
Prior to his appointment as Chief of Cedar Park, Fluck’s thirty year career took him from Baltimore, MD, to El Paso, TX, where he rose to the position of Assistant Chief. One of his first acts upon taking the post at Cedar Park was to draw together a committee from all levels of the agency to take part in the development of a Mission Statement and set of Core Values, each of which is recited—along with the IACP Oath of Honor—at departmental ceremonies. Chief Fluck also founded the “Chief’s University” which is open to all sworn members of the department. The “Chief’s University” is an on-going, organized mentoring program dedicated to teaching future leaders about city government, budgets, administration, leadership, ethical excellence, and integrity.
We congratulate Chief Fluck for his achievements and are delighted to raise him up as a model of ethical behavior and leadership integrity.
Since being awarded for the first time in 1998, this award has been intended to recognize an individual or an organization for especially meritorious leadership or courage related to law enforcement ethics and integrity. Included among the annual awards are those for Ethical Courage, Noble Service and Ethics Achievement.
