Law Enforcement Officer's 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 persons 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 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 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 law
enforcement. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating
myself before God to my chosen profession.... law enforcement.
