					 confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless

					 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 will recognize
					 the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public

					 will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating
					 myself (before God)* to my chosen profession... law enforcement.
