Ethics and Integrity: The Police Officer

Course Description: This workshop focuses on meaningful dialogue and discussion of ethical situations police are faced with in their work. It is designed as two one-day sessions for the police officer and addresses issues of public trust, public perception and police integrity. Part I defines ethics, perceptions of public trust and police professionalism. Part II involves the officer in practical applications from every day situations. In addition, the impact of officers' decisions on their professional and private lives as well as their agency will be examined.
