CODE OF ETHICS FOR PUBIC

Code of Ethics s a self-


regulation manual among
professionals
For most public servants
the taking of an oath of
loyalty merely formalizes
a resolution already
made. It amounts to an
outer expression of an
inner dedication - the
legal aspects of a code of
ethics by which the public
employee is guided in all
his official acts and by
which he expects all his
fellow workers to proceed

John A. Vieg

people, the seat of your affections, and the source of
your happiness and well being. Its defense is your
primary duty. Be ready at all times to sacrifice and
die for it if necessary.

 3. Respect the Constitution which is the expression of


your sovereign will. The government is your
government. It has been established for your safety
and welfare. Obey the laws and see that they are
