The Law Enforcement Code or Ethics
As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is to serve the
communi ty; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the
~nnocent against deception, the weak against oppression or
intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to
respect the constitut~onal 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 r~dicule; develop self restraint; and be constantly
mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in
both my personal and official l~fe, I will be exemplary in obey~ng
the law and the regulations of my department. Whatever I see or
hear of a confidential nature or that ~s confided to me in my
official capac~ty will be kept ever secret unless revelation is
necessary in the performance of my duty.
I will never act officiously or perm~t personal feelings,
pre] ud~ces, poli tical beliefs, aspira tions, animosi ties or
fr~endsh~ps to influence my dec~s~ons. With no compromise for the
crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals, I w~ll 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 fai th, 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
br~bery nor w~ll I condone such acts by other police officers. I
will cooperate with legally authorized agencies and the~r
representat~ves in the pursuit of justice.
I know that I alone am responsible for my own standard ot-
professional performance and will take every opportunity to enhance
and improve my level of knowledge and competence.
I w~ll constantly strive to ach~eve these objectives and ideals,
dedica ting myself before God and my chosen profession Law
Enforcement.
