Our Ethical Policies and Principles
Nepotism
Nepotism is banned for anyone who will be directly employed or contracted by NDTC.
Competitive Bidding
Competitive bids are required on any contract or purchase that exceeds $10,000 or more in a 12-month period. This excludes those who may be de-escalation trainers for NDTC. Contracts that range between $5,000.00 and $10,000.00 require consideration and debate by the board of directors otherwise they are subject to competitive bidding.
Conflict of Interest
Matters that are clear conflict of interests will be disclosed to the board and excluded from considerations as appropriate measures and operations that NDTC may be engaged in.
It is understood that Mr. Guarnieri holds the intellectual property rights to the materials used under licenses to NDTC and that without these materials NDTC would not be capable of current operations. These materials are subject to registered copyrights and trademarks held by Mr. Guarnieri and Bradford-Grant, LLC. Therefore, this shall not constitute a conflict of interest.
Whistleblower Policy
NDTC encourages the reporting of any activity that is either inappropriate or illegal. The NDTC board shall take appropriate action to investigate and act to address any impropriety. Such actions shall be reported in the NDTC Board Minutes.
Compensation Review
Compensation for employees and clearly designated positions within NDTC shall be the subject of board review for appropriateness.
Our Ethical Principles
1. Must be open to new ideas, collaborate, innovate, and evolve as a national network of centers of excellence in police science.
2. Must be willing to be measured, to identify deficiencies and areas for potential advancement in policies and practices. This is applicable to all NDTC ranks, to include the Board of Directors and the Executive Council.
3. Must be humble and transparent. As a non-profit, there is no space for individual aggrandizement or self-gain; we are a public entity for the benefit of public safety initiatives.
Instructor Requirements
No individual shall become an instructor or maintain instructor certification if they have recently engaged in unethical, illegal, or other activity involving moral turpitude. Any such activity must be confirmed by observation, admission, or other evidence, and be acknowledged by the majority of the NDTC Board of Directors, which may not require a special meeting. Information of such activity and recommendations may be given serious consideration when received by the NDTC CEO, Executive Council President, and senior officers of Bradford-Grant, LLC. Any adverse action taken regarding instructor status shall be considered “for cause”.
