Code of Ethics 
As a member of the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office, my first duty is to serve
the people of San Andreas. I will safeguard lives and property, and protect the
innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and
the peaceful against violence or disorder. Above all else, I shall respect the
constitutional rights of all people to liberty, equality, and justice.

I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all, maintain courageous

calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule, develop self restraint, and be
constantly mindful of the welfare of others. I will be honest in thought and
deed in both my personal and official life, and I will be exemplary in obeying
the laws of the land and the regulations of my Department. Whatever I see or
hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity
will be kept confidential unless revelation is necessary in the performance of
my duty.

I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities,

or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and
with relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and
appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing
unnecessary force or violence, and never accepting gratuities.

I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and accept it as

a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the police service.
I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself
to my chosen profession… law enforcement.
