A law enforcement agency whose leaders define the idea of leading by example.

A law enforcement agency that sees itself as being preeminent in the world, looked to for inspiration by law enforcement not only here in the U.S. but around the world.

A law enforcement agency that won't tolerate amongst its own the foul ideals of hate and contempt.

A law enforcement group that serves its nation, not ideological groups or agendas.

A law enforcement organization that abides by the standards set by those appointed above it.
