It never hurts to read it every so often:
Law Enforcement Code of Ethics
As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is to service
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
courage 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 to me in my official capacity
will be ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the
performance of my duty.
I will never act officiously or permit personal feeling, prejudices,
animosities, or friendships to influence by 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 the police service. I will constantly strive to achieve these
objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen
profession……………………………Law Enforcement.
