| Objectives: | Ethics for the Individual Officer provides participants with tools to examine the impact ethical and unethical behavior has on their personal and professional lives. Confronted with the concept of "ethics," participants internalize that for them to lose their integrity, they must give it away themselves. This program consists of five sessions. The first three sessions are designed to help participants assess their personal and professional ethics and behaviors and identify areas for change. Additionally, these sessions address the role of the police, their relationship with the community, personal and professional ethics, legal standards and their implications. Sessions four and five provide participants with an opportunity to apply ethical theories, decision-making tools and critical thinking strategies to case studies as well as problems they bring with them for confidential discussion. Through their work with the case studies and group discussions, participants will identify and process ethical dilemmas as well as unethical behavior. Exercises and case studies are based on practical problems and situations faced by the officer as individuals who work within the context of a policing organization. Participants will discuss their behaviors as it affects senior command staff in the attempt to gain an understanding of their impact on the organization's reputation. Instructors are experts in criminal justice and law enforcement and are well-versed in the issues and dilemmas of ethical behavior and decision-making. |
