We want to help bring character-based principles to law enforcement.

Character Fort Collins provides training, consultation, and resource materials to law enforcement personnel who want to build a strong culture of character in their organizations.

Law enforcement professionals face significant challenges in maintaining safe, peaceful communities. Increased concerns for homeland security, budget constraints, and population increases place high demands on them. Citizens correctly expect services that are reliable and trustworthy. Officers and staff, and their families, face significant pressures on the job and at home.

Often, the challenges that impair the full potential of law enforcement personnel and their organizations stem from character-based root causes. By using our program to enhance their culture of character, law enforcement orgaizations are experiencing real benefits, including better communication and improved morale.

To help law enforcment orgainizations, we primarily use a system based on resources developed by Character First!® and the Police Dynamics Institute. The goal is to build an operational framework in which character is systematically and purposefully emphasized, required, and recognized. Our training includes:

• Understanding how unfavorable symptoms that impair trust and performance are related to character
  
  
• Integrating a character focus into the organization
  
  
• Creating a safe environment for employees to appeal decisions
  
  
• Hiring for character
  
  
• Character-based correction
  
  
• Recognizing and praising the character of leaders and employees
