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; the peaceful against violence or
disorder, and to respect the constitutional rights of all men and women 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 to be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought in both my personal and official life, I
will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and regulations of my
department. Whatever I see or hear
of a confidential nature, or that is confided to me in official capacity, will
be kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of 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 criminal, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear
or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence.
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I
accept it as public trust to be held as long as I am true to the Ethics of
Police Services. I will constantly
strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to
my chosen profession, Law Enforcement.
