Sir Robert Peel 's Principles of Law Enforcement 1829 | |||
1. The basic mission for which police exist is to prevent crime and disorder as an | |||
alternative to the repression of crime and disorder by military force and severity of | |||
legal punishment. | |||
2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of | |||
police existence, actions, behavior and the ability of the police to secure and maintain | |||
public respect. | |||
3. The police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance | |||
of the law to be able to secure and maintain public respect. | |||
4. The degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured diminishes, | |||
proportionately, to the necessity for the use of physical force and compulsion in | |||
achieving police objectives. | |||
5. The police seek and preserve public favor, not by catering to public opinion, but by | |||
constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to the law, in complete | |||
independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance | |||
of individual laws; by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all | |||
members of society without regard to their race or social standing, by ready exercise | |||
of courtesy and friendly good humor; and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in | |||
protecting and preserving life. | |||
6. The police should use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of | |||
the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning | |||
is found to be insufficient to achieve police objectives; and police should use only the | |||
minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for | |||
achieving a police objective. | |||
7. The police at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives | |||
reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the | |||
police; the police are the only members of the public who are paid to give full-time | |||
attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the intent of the | |||
community welfare. | |||
8. The police should always direct their actions toward their functions and never appear | |||
to usurp the powers of the judiciary by avenging individuals or the state, or | |||
authoritatively judging guilt or punishing the guilty. | |||
9. The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible | |||
evidence of police action in dealing with them. | |||
