I will safeguard lives and property; protect the innocent against
deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation and the peaceful
against violence or disorder.
I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all, maintaining
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 which is
confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless
revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty.
With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals,
I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately within 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 the police service.
