Ethics training for police officers and administrators

Modern policing takes place in a risk management minefield. In addition to the challenges officers face on the street, every aspect of police administration — from management, recruiting, training and discipline to the handling of on- and off-duty misconduct — is subject to scrutiny and criticism on ethical grounds.

In collaboration with expert practitioners, peace officers and its many partners in the field of policing, the Josephson Institute has developed a highly focused training courses to help police officers, managers, and administrators perceive, prevent and resolve ethical problems.
Some of the issues addressed:

• Real and perceived racism
• Screening and hiring for character
• Proper and improper uses of deception
• Recognizing and dealing with loyalty conflicts
• Dealing with abusive citizens and offensive conduct
• Limitations on the use of force
• Sexual misconduct
• Building and upholding public trust
• Protecting credibility
