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 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 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 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 decision. 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 .
