I give an oath to all of our officers.  It is as follows:

I (state your name) do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the
office of police officer with and for the Town of _____ and that I will
therein do equal right and justice to all men to the best of my judgment
and ability according to law.  I also solemnly swear that I will support
the constitution of the state of Vermont and the United States, so help
me God.
