Police departments are essential for a lawful civil society, by protecting citizens and enforcing law and order. This free online course on the ethical conduct of Law Enforcement will teach you about the moral and ethical issues that exist within law enforcement, from the importance of ethical behaviour in policing to the ethics involved in policing public demonstrations.
This training program begins by reviewing why ethical behaviour is important in society, and why ethics matter when pursuing a career in law enforcement as a professional. The course then discusses the accountability of the police, how they can be held to account for their actions, along how police officers can be investigated for reports of such actions.
Next, the ethical issues around loyalty in the police force are discussed.
