1.205.l0 LAW ENFORCEMENT 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 example to all;
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
laws of the land and the regulations of my department.
Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is
confined 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 public trusts 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.”
