If we have all of these, we might be good law enforcement officers. I would add one more though, a law enforcement officer must have the perservance and integrity of Paul. Personal integrity is at the center of who we are, and if we lose it , we lose an essential part of our identity. Personal integrity is the foundation of our professional integrity. Once cannot have professional integrity without personal integrity.
Integrity is about being a whole one.
When we have a sense of our own basic commitments, stick to them as well as stick up for them, this is what integrity is all about. To have integrity is to be honest and maintain the public's trust and therefore gain their respect. In doing such, and only then can law enforcement begin to build a partnership to work together as a team, striving for a safer world. The demands upon our profession are many and varied. One needs to be able to be firm, but not rude or oppressive, one must be knowledgeable about many things in life without being arrogant, and finally it is important that one be professional, acting with dignity, but not snobbish or pompous.
