Some of you may not recognize the young officer in the photo. Well, not to burst your bubble, however, that young man was me over 20 years ago. We should support our police who provide protection of us each day. One of the great lessons I learned from that era of my life was the lawmen’s code of ethics and how to never give up in battle. Below are some excerpts:
“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 survive any situation I get into because I am trained for it,” “I will never give up, I am prepared for any situation I fall into because I train for it as an police officer,” “I will never give up.”
As you read these words, please remember that our police are on duty to help us and they are the true warriors of life. The passages above are in line with the code of ethics.
