The La'if Enforcement Code of Ethics
As a law enforcement officerr my fundamental duty is to serve the
communi ty; to safeguard li ves and property; to protect the
innocent against deceptionr the weak against oppress~on or
intimidationr and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to
respect the constitutional rights of all to 1ibertYr equa1~ty and
justice.
I will keep my private life unsull~ed as an example to all and w~ll
behave in a manner which does not bring discredi t to me or my
agency. I will mainta~n courageous calm in the face of dangerr
scornr or ridicule; develop self restraint; and be constantly
mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in
both my personal and offic~a1 lifer I w~ll be exemplary in obeying
the law and the regu1at~ons 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 fee1ingsr
prejudicesr political beliefsr aspirationsr an~mosities or
triendsh~ps to influence my dec~sions. With no compromise for the
crime and with relentless prosecution of criminalsr I will enforce
the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favorr malice
or ill will r never employing unnecessary force or violence and
never accepting gratuities.
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public fa~thr 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 will I condone such acts by other police officers. I
will cooperate with legally authorized agenc~es and their
representatives ~n the pursuit of justice.
I know tllat I alone am responsible for my own standard of
professional performance and w~ll take every opportunity to enhance
and improve my level of knowledge and competence.
I w~ll constantly strive to achieve these objectives and idealsr
dedicat~ng myself before God and my chosen profession Law
Enforcement.
