Take the risk out of your department’s risky business

Police scandals can happen anywhere. And when they hit, they hit hard, costing millions of dollars and countless careers. 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.

Honoring the Badge Seminar
We can customize our Honoring the Badge Seminar specifically to your department’s needs. Josephson Institute’s Center for Policing Ethics equips peace officers and administrators to perceive, prevent, and resolve ethical problems before they begin. This two-day seminar was designed by Michael Josephson, one of the country’s foremost experts in the everyday ethical challenges of policing. Using our groundbreaking model, Exemplary Peace Officer, officers confront real-life ethical dilemmas and learn how to respond respectfully, honorably, and professionally.
