No compromise on police misconduct, IGP says

Bukit Aman’s top brass does not compromise over misconduct, including non-compliance with the laws, by members of the force, said Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.

He said this is reflected in the increase in the number of investigation papers related to misconduct and breach of the laws opened against members of the force.

“From January to June this year, a total of 1,760 investigation papers have been opened compared to 1,665 investigation papers that were opened throughout last year,” he said at the monthly assembly with the inspector-general of police organised by the Integrity and Standard Compliance Department in Kuala Lumpur today.

He said the department will be asked to find a solution in the form of preventive measures in dealing with issues of misconduct by members of the force.

“As the focal point for the management of issues on integrity in the police force, the department needs to be more proactive to find the best solution to prevent breach of ethics before it becomes a cancer in the force.

“Early detection of misconduct allows corrective action to be implemented instead of punitive action,” he said.

Razarudin also said an inspection by the Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) between March and June this year found that there were police actions and work procedures that did not comply with existing instructions and regulations.

IPCC raised two main issues, namely management and welfare covering issues relating to financial management, human resources, asset management, buildings, training, allowances and facilities, quarters and workload, he said.
