Police Officers Code of Ethics
As a Law Enforcement Officer, my fundamental duty is to serve
mankind; 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 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
or 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 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,
animosities or friendships to influence my decisions. With no
compromise 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.
