THE POLICE OATH

What some Police need to be reminded of and the standard the public hold police to:

Victoria-Police-Academy-Parade-Ground-Graduation

‘I  swear by Almighty God/or solemnly and sincerely affirm  that I will well and truly serve our Sovereign as a police officer in Victoria in any capacity in which I may be appointed, promoted, or reduced to, without favour or affection, malice or ill-will for the period from this date, and until I am legally discharged, that I will see and cause the peace to be kept and preserved, and that I will prevent to the best of my power all offences, and that while I continue to be a police officer I will to the best of my skill and knowledge discharge all the duties legally imposed on me faithfully and according to law.’

[Victoria Police Act 2013, Schedule 2]
