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.

keep my private life unsullied as an example to all; maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; practice self-restraint; and remain mindful of others’ welfare. Honest in thought and deed in both personal and official life, I will obey the laws of the land and my department’s regulations. Whatever I see or hear in confidence in my official capacity will remain secret unless disclosure is required in duty.

never act officiously or permit personal feeling, 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 of favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities.

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.
