AUXILIARY POLICE CODE OF ETHICS

 

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 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. 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.
