CODE OF ETHICS
IF YOU CAN'T OBEY THE LAWS OR YOU DON'T RESPECT THE LAWS, YOU
HAVE NO BUSINESS IN THE PROFESSION OF LAW
Peace Officer's 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 law 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 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 police service. I will never engage in acts of corruption
or bribery, nor will I condone such acts by other police 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
