“Honoring the Badge” Police Ethics Course
Modern policing takes place in an ethical minefield – from the street to the courthouse, from management to recruiting, from training to on and off-duty conduct. The mission of the Josephson Exemplary Policing Initiative at Drake University is to help agencies shape, enhance, and fortify their ethical culture and prevent misconduct from eroding confidence in the public sector.
The highly acclaimed Honoring the Badge police ethics Agency and Command Staff programs take a deep dive into applied ethics and deal with the hidden, and often ignored, ethical challenges within law enforcement. The course was created by world-renowned ethicist Michael Josephson and Detective Captain James Dugan. Jim, whose highly decorated NJ police career was derailed by one bad judgment, provides a unique, sobering, and inspiring perspective.
This presentation addresses the following critical organizational needs:
• The major causes of unethical behavior within a law enforcement agency.
• The inherent career and officer wellness consequences of unethical behavior – long and short term.
• The Six Pillars of Character® – applying them within your agency.
If you are committed to bringing meaningful, ethical improvements to your entire department, this training is for you!
