OATH OF OFFICE
The Law Enforcement Code of Ethics. As a law enforcement
officer, my fundamental duty is tc serve mankind; to safeguard the
lives and property, to protect the innocent against deception, the
weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against
violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all
men to liberty, equality and justice.
I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all;
maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn or ridicule;
develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of
others. Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official
life, I will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the
reg~lations of my department. Whatever I see or hear of a confidential
nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be
kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of
my duty.
I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings,
prejudices, animosities, or friendships to influence my decisions.
With no comppomise for crime and with relentless prosecution of
criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without
fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force
or violence and never accepting gratuities.
"
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public
faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am
true to the ethics of the police service. I will constantly strive to
achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to
my chosen profession ..... ... law enforcement, so help me God.
