On-Line Ethics Courses

Several different types of online ethics courses are available to employees through the Learning Management System (LMS). One is a required course titled, "Making Decisions Ethically," which was a DHS-developed course that became mandatory in April 2012. This required course was replaced in March 2015 with a new Secret Service–specific course titled, "Decision Making Elements." Additionally, there are several other courses that are optional. The LMS course completions related to ethics are shown in the following table:
