Police Constables Oath
In England and Wales those who decide to become police constables take an oath at the
point of becoming a constable. The oath, or attestation, is set within the legislation
of this country, and is as follows:
“I do solemnly and sincerely
declare and affirm that I will well
and truly serve the Queen in the
office of constable, with fairness,
integrity, diligence and
impartiality, upholding
fundamental human rights and
according equal respect to all
people; and that I will, to the
best of my power, cause the
peace to be kept and preserved
and prevent all offences against
people and property; 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 heading entitled “Police Constables Oath” is a misnomer. It is not an oath as it contains no religious element, ie, God. It’s an affirmation or attestation, as it is usually referred to yet the office of constable demands that an oath be sworn. Also, the “police” are a creation of statute, not Common Law an opposing jurisdiction.
In order to become a corporate police officer you first have to submit to the requirements of the office of constable by swearing an oath to God that you will “well and truly serve to our Sovereign Lady the Queen, in the office of constable….,” where your duty is to uphold the rule of law, the Common Law, the Supreme Law of the Land.
The dilemma mentioned earlier is attributed to the fact that the religious element of the constables oath of office was bypassed by the simple expedient of replacing it with an attestation going back to the Police Act 1964. Therefore there have been no true constables for over 50 years! Even after the passing of the Promissory Oaths Act 1868, Constables were still required to take the oath of office.
This is the result, not even an option to swear a solemn oath to God.

If you attest, you are not swearing an oath; therefore you cannot be sworn in, a contradiction in terms. It says “Before being sworn in as a Constable, and receiving their police powers…” so, police officers powers come from where again?
They can call themselves constables, police constables or police officers but at no time are they actually operating in that specific Common Law jurisdiction from which their powers are obtained, that of the office of constable. In addition, a man cannot serve two masters (1) in two opposing and contradictory jurisdictions and should that dilemma ever arise, to whom does his primary allegiance lie?
(1) https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-6-24/ “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Historically, I believe that the correct wording for the constable’s oath was as follows: “I swear, that I will well and truly serve our Sovereign Lady the Queen, in the Office of Constable for the (here mention the constablewick), for the year next ensuing, or until I shall be thereof discharged by due course of law. I shall see the Queens peace kept, and keep all such watch and ward as are usually accustomed and ought to be kept; and I shall well and truly do and execute all other things belonging to the said office, according to the best of my skill and knowledge.” So help me God.
Also, who is the Queen as referred to in the new attestation? Why is Her Majesty no longer our Sovereign Lady? By removing the words “Our Sovereign Lady” the authors of that “oath” have compiled a document which imagines the death of the Sovereign, which is punishable under the Treason Act 1351. It has also removed the Style and Honour of Her Majesty as a Sovereign Queen by Law established, which is an offence contrary to the 1848 Treason Felony Act.
