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 in 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 the relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law
                   courteously and appropriately without fear of 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.
