1.The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.
2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependant upon public approval of police actions.
3. Police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the law.
4. The degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionally to the necessity of the use of force
5. Police seek and preserve public favor not by catered public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law.
6. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient.
7.Police at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition; the police are the public and the public are the police. The police being only full time individuals charged with the duties that are incumbent on all of the citizens.
8. Police should always direct their actions strictly towards their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.
9.The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.
