BC Police Code of Ethics
BC Police Code of Ethics was unveiled and signed Friday, January
14, 2005:
What the BC Code of Ethics represents is the formalized written
description of the values that govern what we as police officers
say and do. It highlights individual and organizational
responsibilities to the communities in which we police. We now have
a written and accepted ideal standard for policing that can be
incorporated into the education and training of all police officers
in British Columbia.
This document considers the complex role of policing in a
democracy. It acknowledges the balance between individual rights
and public order, and the significance of public trust in the
police. This trust is crucial to the continued partnership between
the public and the police.
