DUBLIN LAW ENFORCEMENT CODE OF ETHICS

As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is:

• To serve mankind

• To safeguard lives and property

• To protect the innocent from deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder

• 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 laws of the land and the regulations of the 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 duties.

• I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities or friendships to influence my decisions. 

• With no compromise for crime and 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.
