Law Enforcement Code of Ethics
As a law enforcement officer, my
fundamental duty is to serve the community; 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 to liberty, equality and justice. I will keep my
private life unsullied as an example to all and will behave in a manner that
does not bring discredit to me, or my agency. I will 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, political beliefs, aspirations, animosities, or
friendships 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 truth to be held as long as
I am true to the ethics of police service. I will never engage in acts of
corruption or bribery, nor will I condone such acts by other law enforcement
officers. I will cooperate with all legally authorized agencies and their
representatives in the pursuit of justice.
I know that I alone am responsible for my
own standard of professional performance and will take every reasonable
opportunity to enhance and improve my level of knowledge and competence.
I will constantly strive to achieve these
objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen
profession...Law Enforcement.
