“ Policing With Honor”
Ethical Survival for Law Officers
With highly decorated police LT. Randy Sutton

This seminar helps law enforcement officers provide law enforcement services at the highest levels of integrity, compassion, courtesy and competence while helping officers “survive” a dangerous career. “Survival” for police officers shouldn’t mean just staying alive. It should mean a high quality professional life, even flourishing - mentally, emotionally and ethically. Police work has become increasingly complicated. Every action a police officer takes, every remark, every decision, is likely to be scrutinized not only intra-departmentally but by the media and the community. This program equips police officers with “ethical ammunition” - practical information to better navigate the moral complexities of today’s law enforcement world. This jam-packed-with-information class is part lecture, part real-life stories, part controversial video viewing and a lot of open discussion.
