The National Institute of Ethics - Law Enforcement and Corrections

Please take a moment and go to the “Why Select the National Institute of Ethics” section of our website and look at the hundreds of seminars the Institute has conducted since 1991.

There is a reason that the vast majority of our courses are “repeat business.” Our goal is always to exceed the expectations of any agency that retains our services… and satisfaction is guaranteed.

As an example, every seminar student will receive a CD that contains over 500 leadership files. Included are the 12 extensive manuals that I have written during my career; all copyright free. We are very sincere about doing every thing we can to help you prevent misconduct.

Customized Instruction

The Institute very much appreciates the sensitive nature of the topics we instruct. We often customize our seminars to meet the specific needs of the organization by conducting a integrity needs assessment, then developing the learning goals based upon those needs. We have also created a series of 1-day courses for dozens of departments.
