1. Honor the oath of our office

2. We are personally responsible to act skillfully and critically, in order to make intelligent-legally defensible decisions in the pursuit of the truth.

3. We say or do nothing that would cause an innocent person to admit to something that they did not do.

4. In our pursuit of truth, we respect others by leaving victims, witnesses, and suspects with their dignity, as they cope with a difficult and often life-changing event. 

5. We believe in the equation of success: 

Effective Planning
Effective Listening
Effective Observation
Effective Action        

Effective Outcome
