CRIMINAL JUSTICE CODE OF ETHICS

AS A CRIMINAL JUSTICE OFFICER, my fundamental duty is to serve humankind; to safeguard lives and

property; to protect all persons against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the

peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all people 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 to

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. Without compromise and with relentlessness, I will uphold the laws affecting the duties of my

profession courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing

unnecessary force or violence, and never accepting gratuities.

I RECOGNIZE my position 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 Criminal Justice System. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and

ideals, dedicating myself before God

to my chosen profession.

I swear before God to the above.

I affirm to the above.
