Ethics Training

What is ethics in law enforcement?  It is doing the right thing in spite of pressure to do
otherwise.  Law enforcement officers have tremendous power over people and
situations.  The opportunity to take advantage of others, to act out with impunity and
disregard to the law and others is within their discretion.  They are motivated by   law
breakers, drug dealers, and other criminals that go free by shrouding themselves in a
technicality of the law.  In an effort to do right the officer does wrong,  thinking the end
justifies the means.  The officer on the scene must make a split second decision to
take action.  An action which may be the taking of another’s life or perhaps to deliver
punishment in spite of rules to the contrary.  Decisions to lie or not to lie must be made
when it comes to protecting illegally obtained evidence or testimony, or to cover for a
fellow officer who meant to do right but did wrong.  These are the ethical dilemmas that
officers must face more than once in their career.  The wrong decision can cost a
person their life, can cost an officer’s job, destroy a department’s reputation or result in
the burning of a neighborhood.  The costs are measured in money, lives, reputations
and grieving widows.   

How do we confront these ethical dilemmas, make the proper decision and prevent the
disastrous results from the wrong decision?  We do it by training.  Training to make
sound ethical decisions when confronted with ethical dilemmas.  Training that starts at
the top of the management pyramid and works its way to the rank and file.  

This training course “Ethics - Train The Trainer”, is designed to provide training and
materials to the agency’s in-service trainer to meet the agency’s ethics training needs.
      A Need For Training

According to a survey by the directors of Peace
Officer Standards and Training Commissions and
Councils across the United States, between 1990
and 1995,  3,382 law enforcement officers were
disciplined.  Of the 3,382 officers 2,296 (59.1%)
were decertified.  The average officer was 32
years old with 5 to 10 years experience.  These
statistics tell us that the ethics training received in
basic training is not enough.  Ethics training is a
continuous process from the basic academy,
through FTO and throughout our career.  
Management needs the tools to train and
maintain ethical behavior in their law enforcement
members.  The tools needed are,  ethics trained
instructors, providing in-service ethics training to
the rank and file. This course provides the
training for that purpose.
