    The way police officers are

    often portrayed in movies and

    television can make it look like

    a pretty exciting job. Though it

    can be, especially if you work

    in a major city or one of its

    suburbs, many officers have

    gone through their entire

    careers without ever having to

    unholster their weapon.

    But there's no way to know forsure what your experience will

    be. You can be bored stiff one

    minute, and be facing a

    moment of sheer terror the

    next, but you must be

    prepared for both.

    THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CODE OF

    ETHICS

    As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental

    duty is to serve humankind; 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 people to liberty, equality, and justice.

    I will never engage in acts of corruption or bribery,

    nor will I condone such acts by other police

    officers. I will cooperate with all legally-authorized

    agencies and their representatives in the pursuit

    of justice. I know that I alone am responsible formy own standard of professional performance

    and will take every reasonable opportunity to

    enhance and improve my level of knowledge and

    competence.

    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.
