“For the last 100 years, numerous efforts to effectively reform police operations have fallen far short of their intended outcomes.”

— Dr. D.J. Van Meter

 We think differently about police reform. We believe the welfare of local communities is best served when local agency leaders willingly accept the responsibility for reforming their agencies. That is why we developed the Sworn to Honor (S2H) project; it provides the technical knowledge and method of operations that is vitally necessary for success.

Police Sworn 2 Honor Podcast

S2H is a police management model; it operationalizes and enforces the expressed and implied ethical standards mandated in the Oath of Office and Professional Code of Ethics.

Because S2H is well researched, designed, and based on existing employment and labor laws and best practices, agencies have as close to an absolute defense against legal or labor challenges as possible.

S2H standards, policies, and procedures are designed to simplify the management process, improve organizational efficiency, protect the rights of employees and management, and support all employee employment and retention decisions.

What is Sworn 2 Honor.

We have put together two videos to better explain the concept of Sworn 2 Honor. The videos are shareable, narrated and produced in 4k resolution for large screen presentations.

 
 

Part One

Part Two

S2H raises the level of police management from governing employees' conduct and behavior to a level that ensures their communities that officers are willing and competent enough to self-govern their conduct and behavior in a manner that honors the expressed and implied values and work ethics expressed in their Oath of Office and Professional Work Ethics. .
