It is necessary that police officers and supervisors remind themselves of the nobility of policing and the high ethical standards required to do the job well in the modern world. Individuals must be willing to craft the culture and climate of their organizations to value the high ideals of nobility, honesty, integrity, dignity, and respect as a backdrop for all operations. This course is written to combine these two principles and energize police officers and supervisors in their efforts to model courage and character.
Overview: This is a 16-hour course which is presented over two days. The course will provide instruction that is both philosophical and practical, with discussions, question-and-answer sessions, readings, video instruction, and case studies as presentation methods. Detailed lesson information is included in the presentation outline. The course is designed for all officers, with particular focus on supervisors and senior officers who may become supervisors. Learning Objectives:At the conclusion of this course, the participant will:
- Describe the historical roots of policing and the noble characteristics associated with that history.
- Articulate the principles of acting with dignity and respect as defined by various authors.
- State the characteristics of leadership illustrated in a provided case study.
