§ 24.02. Credo.

We believe that government service is a worthy calling. We are proud of the privilege of serving the public and our customer agencies.

We affirm the dignity and value of the service we render, and strive for a constructive, creative and practical approach to our work and responsibilities.

We dedicate ourselves to the highest ideals of honor and integrity and the principles of equality for all regardless of race, color, sex, age or national origin.

We believe it is our duty continually to improve our abilities and skills in order to sustain productive and quality performance.

We emphasize a friendly and courteous attitude and seek to present a positive image of public service.

We respect and treat as privileged information accepted in trust, and believe that all matters of personnel should be handled fairly according to established rules.

We believe that personal gain, either immediate or in the future, secured by the misuse of one's position, is totally unethical. PUBLIC SERVICE IS A PUBLIC TRUST.
