[HISTORY: Adopted by the Council of the Borough of Darby 1-3-1973. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
As a member of the Darby Borough Police Department, my first duty
is to serve the people of Darby Borough.
B.
I will safeguard lives and property; protect the innocent against
deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation and the peaceful
against violence or disorder.
C.
Above all else, I shall respect the constitutional rights of all
men to liberty, equality and justice.
D.
I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all, maintaining
courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn or ridicule; develop
self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others.
E.
Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life,
I will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations
of my Department.
F.
Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that which is
confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless
revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty.
G.
I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices,
animosities or friendships to influence my decisions.
H.
With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals,
I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately within fear or
favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence
and never accepting gratuities.
I.
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.
J.
I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals,
dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession, law enforcement.
