Our vision and values

We are proud to protect the UK's Defence community, capabilities and assets, contributing to national security through our bespoke and flexible policing service. Our values and ethical principles guide our actions, decisions, and interactions both within our Force and with the communities we serve. 

Our vision 

Safeguarding the future of Defence through specialised policing and a collaborative culture, ensuring resilience, security and innovation in an evolving threat landscape. By fostering partnerships, leveraging cutting edge technology and upholding the highest standards of integrity, we create a safer and more secure future for all. 

The Code of Ethics 

Our work is guided by the national Code of Ethics, which sets out the standards of behaviour expected from everyone in policing. These principles help us make sound professional decisions and reflect on our actions. As policing professionals, we commit to the following: 

Courage

Making, communicating and being accountable for decisions, and standing against anything that could bring our profession into disrepute. 

Respect and empathy 

Encouraging, listening to and understanding the views of others, and seeking to recognise and respond to the physical, mental and emotional challenges that we and other people may face. 

Public service 

Working in the public interest, fostering public trust and confidence, and taking pride in providing an excellent service to the public.
