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, Josephson Institute has developed 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
