"As a Minnesota 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 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 by personal and official life,
I will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations of my department.
Whatever I see of 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 duty.

I will never act 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 of 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."
