The Institute has conducted programs for over 100,000 influential leaders, including public officials, school administrators, military and police officers, journalists, senior corporate and nonprofit executives, as well as judges and lawyers.
Through the institute, Mr. Josephson founded Character Counts!, the nation’s leading character education system. It now reaches five million youngsters through the CHARACTER COUNTS!

Two Presidents, the Congress, most states and countless municipalities have endorsed the Coalition’s approach and declared the third week in October “National CHARACTER COUNTS! Week.”
Mr. Josephson is also the program designer of the “Honoring the Badge” seminar. In collaboration with expert practitioners, peace officers, and its many partners in the field of policing, the Josephson Institute of Ethnics has developed a highly focused training course to help police managers and administrators perceive, avoid and deal with ethical problems. He is a former law professor who has extensive experience working with law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles and Ventura County Sheriffs’ Departments, the California Peace Officers’ Association and the FBI.
Every day, listeners can hear his Gabriel Award-winning radio commentaries on CBS station KNX-1070 in Southern California, as well as on stations across the country and on American Forces Radio around the world.
