About the Author

Edwin J. Delattre of Boston University is a resident scholar in the university’s Center for School Improvement, professor of philosophy in its College of Arts and Sciences, and professor of education and former dean of its School of Education. He is an adjunct scholar of AEI and president emeritus of St. John’s College (Annapolis and Santa Fe).

He has been teaching courses on ethics in policing for more than twenty-five years. As he designed the courses, he spent forty hours a week on the streets with police at night. He has taught FBI agents, police chiefs, and other police and law enforcement personnel and his work has taken him to the streets of almost every major city in the United States, the Caribbean, and England. By 1985, Mr. Delattre was receiving many requests from police that he write a book on ethics in policing. Character and Cops is his response to those requests.
