From dark streets and hallways where criminals prey on their victims to the corridors of power where political agendas set policy, law enforcement officers face demands upon their courage and morality. What does it take to enforce the law and keep the peace honorably? In this manual, Delattre explores the ethical standards that apply to police commands and to individual officers in pursuit of their duties. The success of law enforcement agencies, he argues, is critical to the liberty and safety of our society.

From dark streets and hallways where criminals prey on their victims to the corridors of power where political agendas set policy, law enforcement officers face unrelenting demands on their courage and morality. In a dangerous world, are "Dirty Harry" tactics or "noble cause corruption" ever justified? What does it take to enforce the law and keep the peace honorably? In the expanded edition of Character and Cops, Edwin J. Delattre has added material on the Rodney King beating, gang-based violence, and the tragedy at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. He also includes an appendix, with a guide for designing academy courses and programs in ethics and for using the book as an instructional tool. Character and Cops explores the ethical standards that govern police commands and individual officers in pursuit of their duties. More broadly, though, the book addresses questions of individual character, public trust, corruption, moral training, and ethics education as they apply to society at large.

The fifth edition of this enduring work features new material on how today's police officers can meet the ethical challenges of policing while living up to heightened demands for better security. Professor Delattre addresses the need for careful selection of law enforcement recruits by using four examples of intellectual competence and moral probity in policing and law enforcement: the investigation of mass murder at Columbine High School, which was conducted under FBI leadership; the effective transformation of the police force in the Rampart Area of Los Angeles following the catastrophic police misconduct of the 1990s and the reforms of the Los Angeles police department as a whole; the successful anti-gang work conducted by the Fairfax County police in Virginia; and the design and progress, since the September 11 terrorist attacks, of the New York State Office of Homeland Security.

In this work, the author points out that Americans have placed their trust, not in an abstract concept of "American education", but in particular schools, colleges and universities. These institutions are therefore obliged to bear that trust faithfully. To do so - and he argues that many have not - educational institutions must clearly define their intellectual and moral purposes and strive conscientiously to fulfill them.
