Directors/Program Managers/Participants:

My name is Denton Carter, a doctoral student at Morgan State University, Baltimore, MD. You are invited to participate in a survey concerning ethics education of law enforcement personnel, I will use for my dissertation. This study will provide law enforcement agencies and training centers with a better perspective on the development and delivery of ethics education. Additionally, the results of this study may impact the broader law enforcement education and training enterprise as advocated by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the need for standardization.

This survey is being disseminated nationwide and your participation is greatly appreciated. The process takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please answer each question. If you are not the individual responsible, can you forward this email to the appropriate individual. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and confidential. The data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate.

If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Denton Carter, Doctoral Student/Researcher, Morgan State University at 410.446.7770 or by email at the email address specified below;
