The Hood College Department of Campus Safety is committed to the needs and concerns of the entire student body and academic community.

• We will endeavor always to uphold the high standards of our appointed position, ever mindful of our pledge to serve.

• We shall with diligence and concern, attempt to address even the smallest of concerns brought to our attention by any student, faculty member, administrator, or guest.

• We have given our oath to do so, and it is our honored duty as representatives to fulfill that commitment.

Code of Ethics:

• I WILL regard my office as a public trust and, in the discharge of my duties, be constantly mindful of my primary obligation to serve the student body, and academic community, efficiently and effectively.

• I WILL conduct my public and private life so that the public regards me as an example of stability, fidelity, and morality.

• I WILL bear faithful allegiance to the government and be loyal to my profession. I will accept as a sacred obligation my responsibility as a citizen to support the Constitution of the United States; and as a public official, consider the privilege of defending the principles of liberty, as defined in our Constitution and laws, the greatest honor that may be bestowed upon any person.

• I WILL never bring disgrace upon the College by an act of dishonesty or poor moral judgment. 

• I WILL dedicate myself to being both courteous and helpful to every student, professor, administrator and guest at Hood College, in order to instill a sense of safety and security in their daily lives. 

• I WILL dedicate myself to presenting a positive image through my deeds, appearance, and devotion to duty; realizing that, only with personal integrity will I be able to provide service with honor.

• I WILL administer the rules and regulations of the College in a just, impartial, and reasonable manner and not accord to some more reasonable treatment than others.

• I WILL never forget that I am a servant of the people, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the mission of the College.
