ETHICS


The Fire Investigators Association of New Zealand Incorporated follows the Code Of Ethics of the International Association of Arson Investigators Inc of which it is Chapter No 47. These are detailed as follows:

I will, as a fire investigator, regard myself as a member of an important and honourable profession.
I will conduct both my personal and official life so as to inspire the confidence of the public.
I will not use my profession and position of trust for personal advantage or gain.
I will regard my fellow investigators with the same standards as I hold for myself. I will never betray a confidence nor otherwise jeopardise their investigation.
I will regard it my duty to know my work thoroughly. It is my further duty to avail myself of every opportunity to learn more about my profession.
I will avoid alliances with those whose goals are inconsistent with an honest and unbiased investigation. I will make no claim to professional qualifications which I do not possess.
I will share all publicity equally with my fellow investigators, whether such publicity is favourable or unfavourable.
I will be loyal to my superiors, to my subordinates and to the organisation I represent.
I will bear in mind always that I am a truth-seeker, not a case-maker; that it is more important to protect the innocent than to convict the guilty.
