David,
I believe this is what you are looking for.
The current oath reads: "I do solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that
I will well and truly serve Our Sovereign Lady the Queen in the office of
constable,
without fear or affection, malice or ill will, and that I will to the best
of my power cause the peace to be kept and preserved, and prevent all
offences against the persons and properties of Her Majesty's subjects and
that while I continue to hold the said office I will to the best of my skill
and knowledge discharge all the duties thereof faithfully according to law."
The Patten report recommended that the oath of loyalty to the Queen should
be replaced by a more general affirmation.
Mr Patten's suggested new oath is: "I hereby do solemnly and sincerely and
truly declare and affirm that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the
office of
constable, and that in doing so I will act with fairness, integrity,
diligence and impartiality, uphold fundamental human rights and accord equal
respect to all
individuals and to their traditions and beliefs."
There is already support from forces on the mainland for the implementation
of the Patten proposals. John Newing, Chief Constable of Derbyshire and
president of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), said the
Patten report contained recommendations that should be implemented
throughout Britain.
Question for the boys in blue. Is sedition an arrestable offence? If so,
where the hell do you take him?- to a police station?
Regards,
Mike Burke.
