A. All Rhode Island Capitol Police Officers are reminded that no set of rules or regulations can be established that will cover every aspect of police work that may arise. Many problems are resolved based on an officer's training and common sense. All members have the responsibility to learn the policies and procedures in this manual and are expected to know and assume the duties and obligations set forth herein.
B. Failure to comply with any rule or regulation in this manual, any subsequent policy or procedure, or any conduct that is detrimental to this police department, may result in disciplinary action.
C. It is essential that all officers remember that in the execution of their duties, they act not for themselves but for the public. In the use of police power, duty, or function, a fair and impartial enforcement of the law should always be the activating motive.
D. Serving as a guide, the regulations herein contained should crystallize the impression that good police officer must be a public servant, a professional, and an expert in law enforcement.
