LAW ENFORCEMENT OATH OF HONOR

POLICING IS AN HONORABLE PROFESSION full of men and women dedicated to the wellbeing and quality of life of others , and the Garner Police Department is no exception . We embrace the Oath of Honor as the basis of our individual and organizational strength and our commitment to the community . The Oath of Honor is used at all of our public ceremonies to share that commitment with those we proudly serve :

On my honor , I will never betray my badge , my integrity , my character , or the public trust .

I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions .

I will always uphold the Constitution , my community and the agency I serve , so help me God .

Developed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police Committee on Police Ethics in 1997
