I will, as an arson investigator, regard myself as a member of an important and honorable profession.
I will conduct both my personal and professional life so as to inspire the confidence of the public.
I will not use my position of trust in the California Conference of Arson Investigators for personal advantage or profit.
I will regard my fellow investigators with the same standards as I hold for myself. I will never betray a confidence, nor otherwise jeopardize their investigation.
I will regard it my duty to know my work thoroughly. I will make it my further duty to avail myself of every opportunity to learn more about my profession.
I will avoid alliances with those whose goals are inconsistent with an honest and unbiased investigation.
I will make no claim to professional qualifications which I do not possess.
I will share all publicity equally with my fellow investigators, whether such publicity is favorable or unfavorable.
I will be loyal to my superiors, to my subordinates and to the organizations I represent.
I will always bear in mind that I am a truth seeker; not a case maker, that it is more important to protect the innocent than to convict the guilty.
I will at
all times remember the importance of honesty within my profession.
