The International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Training, Inc. (IADLEST) was awarded a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710). The funding will be used to modernize the Code of Police Ethics and establish a national model standard for law enforcement ethics from October 2024 to September 2026.
The key activities include convening a working group of subject matter experts from across the U.S. to collaboratively update the Code and Canons of Police Ethics, developing the draft model ethical standard with opportunities for stakeholder feedback, and launching a campaign to promote the adoption of the model standard by state and local law enforcement agencies. This initiative aims to elevate law enforcement to the standards of other regulated professions, reinforce public trust and confidence in policing, and advance the goals of community safety and engagement.
