Should you take pride in your agency?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Sometimes
• D. Very much so

Answer: (D)

Taking pride in the agency reflects a professional mindset that supports ethics, accountability, and public trust. When you express pride “very much so,” you signal a strong, ongoing commitment to doing things right, following policies, and representing the agency well under pressure. This level of pride tends to correlate with better adherence to procedures, willingness to uphold standards, and a team-focused attitude that enhances morale and credibility with the public. In this field, consistency matters, so a strong, unwavering stance is expected. Saying you’re merely “Yes” is positive but weaker, “Sometimes” suggests inconsistency, and “No” undermines the professional commitment DCJS emphasizes.
