Oct 13 2025 - Oct 14 2025 8am-5pm Ethical Leadership
Reserve Seat
 “We look to leaders to be role models and assume the responsibility for both the good and bad ethical decisions." Every day, leaders must face and make complex ethical decisions. The decisions made and the methods utilized to make those decisions determine whether the decision maker is an ethical leader. Whether you lead a law enforcement agency, a bureau, a division, a small unit, or simply take an informal leadership role in your daily life, the issue of ethical leadership cannot be avoided. Ethical leaders ARE role models. They communicate the importance of ethical standards and of holding employees accountable for those standards. Perhaps even more importantly they create and nurture an ethical environment in which others work and function. Public Safety Building, Jamestown Campus Room 127 Kennedy16 0 / 40 / 1
