Society expects all criminal justice
personnel to be held to a “higher standard” than the general
public—and rightfully so. Law enforcement is entrusted to
enforce the laws of our state, county, and local jurisdictions,
as well as assure protection of everyone’s constitutional
rights—both the law abiding citizen and the criminal. This
course will explore the ethical and professional behaviors
expected of today’s law enforcement professional, discuss
ethical scenarios, and suggest the means by which we can
efficiently and effectively perform our duties and avoid civil
and criminal liability. The course begins at 9:00 a.m. and
concludes at 4:00 p.m.
