Oath Administered By:

Role Overview

Constitutional Mandate:

Executes federal laws (U.S. Const. Art. II).

Key Competencies:

Leadership, diplomacy, and constitutional knowledge.

Potential Weaknesses:

• Ethical and Accountability Lapses: Instances of trooper misconduct, such as the 2025 fraud and theft charges against a trooper in St. Joseph County, or flawed investigations (e.g., a nine-month probe into a sheriff ending with the ISP investigator facing scrutiny), which can erode public trust and lead to legal challenges.
• Resource and Staffing Shortfalls: Delays in implementing body cameras statewide (still in process as of 2025) and recruitment challenges could impair transparency and response times, increasing risks in high-intensity operations like drug interdictions.
• Adaptation to Legal Changes: Ongoing legislative updates in 2025 (e.g., on identification procedures, fentanyl testing, and statutes of limitations) may strain training resources, risking inconsistent enforcement and civil rights violations.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
