' .. 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.
