The Law En:torcement Code of Ethics
As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is to serve the
community; to safeguard 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 to liberty, equality and
justice.
I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all and will
behave in a manner which does not bring discredi t to me or my
agency. I will 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 law and the regulations 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, political beliefs, aspirations, animosities or
friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for the
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 police service. I will never engage in acts of
bribery nor will I condone such acts by other police officers. I
will cooperate with legally authorized agencies and their
representatives in the pursuit of justice.
I know that I alone am responsible for my own standard of
professional performance and will take every opportunity to enhance
and improve my level of knowledge and competence.
I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals,
dedicating myself before God and my chosen profession Law
