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 law of the land and the regulations of my Office.  Whatever i see or hear of a confidential nature that is confided to me in my 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, prejudice, 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 constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession--law enforcement.
