Louisville Metro Police Department





March 20, 2004

To All Personnel:

The purpose of the Standard Operating Procedures is to explain the
organization, policies and procedures of the Louisville Metro Police
Department. Policies are broadly stated principles and values intended to
guide members in the performance of their duties in conformity with
department objectives. Procedures are methods of performing police
activities to achieve an objective. Procedures may be general or specific in
nature. Each member shall be familiar with the Standard Operating
Procedures Manual and adhere to its directives.

These procedures do not and cannot address every situation that a
member may encounter in the performance of his/her law enforcement
duties. If a member encounters a situation that is not covered by policy,
procedure or training, the member shall be expected to exercise sound
judgment and act in accordance with the Department’s Mission Statement
and Core Values. There may be times when it is necessary for a member
to take action that may not fully comply with a stated policy or procedure. In
such situations, the member shall be required to justify the deviation from
stated policy or procedure and those actions shall be subject to strict
review.

Adherence to these procedures shall ensure the Department’s mission to
provide professional services fairly and ethically, at all times, to all people,
in order to prevent crime, control crime and promote community
involvement on all levels.

Robert C. White
Chief of Police
Our Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Louisville Metro Police Department to deliver professional,
effective services, fairly and ethically, at all times, to all people, in order to
prevent crime, control crime, and enhance the overall quality of life for citizens
and visitors. We will encourage and promote community involvement on all levels
to achieve these ends.


Values

Making the Community our Primary Focus
We are committed to a police-community partnership in providing the delivery of
police services. We shall accept a leadership role in developing relationships with
the citizens of our community that foster mutual trust and open communications.

Ethical Behavior and Accountability
We shall perform our duties with an unwavering commitment to integrity,
professionalism and dependability. We will be accountable to those we serve for
our decisions and actions.

Trustworthy
We embrace honesty and openness with the community as vital to securing the
public’s trust. Without reservation, we will adhere to a code of conduct that
promotes truthfulness and straightforwardness.

Respect for All People
We manifest commitment to justice, equal treatment of individuals, tolerance for
and acceptance of diversity by demonstrating respect for human dignity and
rights.

Objectivity
We are committed to the fair and impartial enforcement of all laws. We value
treating all persons equitably and without bias, with the highest regard for
individual and constitutional rights.
Law Enforcement Code of Ethics


As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is to serve the
community; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against
deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation and the peaceful
against violence or disorder; and to respect the constitutional rights of all to
liberty, equality and justice.

I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all and will behave in a
manner that does not bring discredit to me or to my agency. I will maintain
courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn or ridicule; develop self-
restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in
thought and deed both in my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in
obeying the law 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 ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance
of my duty.

I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, political
beliefs, aspirations, 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 I accept
it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of police
service. I will never engage in acts of corruption or bribery, nor will I
condone such acts by other police officers. I will cooperate with all legally
authorized agencies and their representatives in the pursuit of justice.

I know that I alone am responsible for my own standard of professional
performance and will take every reasonable opportunity to enhance and
improve my level of knowledge and competence.

I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating
myself before God to my chosen profession . . . law enforcement. Louisville Metro Police Department
