Code of Ethics

Effective policing is built on public trust and confidence. This depends on a policing profession that is ethical and professional in the way that it respects, listens, responds, improves and serves the public.

The ethical policing principles set out in the policing Code of Ethics are a series of guiding statements that should be used to help people in policing do the right things, in the right way, for the right reasons.
