It was reported in Hsinchu County that female detective was working part-time in a skin care shop, once again damaging the image of the police. Taipei City Police Department Commissioner CHANG,JUNG-HSING, who is about to take office as Director of the National Police Agency, yesterday reiterated the importance of police discipline and will strengthen legal education in the future, otherwise “no matter how good the performance is, it will be worth it” “It’s just a scandal”, and the public’s perception is that it has been written off.
In the past two years, there have been frequent reports of bizarre police disciplines, including collusion with fraud, gambling syndicates, violation of personal information, tip-offs, bribery and cover-up, etc. Now, there is an outrageous incident of a female police officer suspected of going to the police.
Wang, Po-Chi, an associate professor at the Department of Criminal Justice at Ming Chuan University, said that in the early stages of police misconduct cases, people may be desperate for money due to gambling, drug abuse, extramarital affairs, etc., and then get deeper into trouble after being involved in illegal activities; especially fraud, which is so profitable that people are attracted by the benefits. The police must conduct internal control from the front end, pay attention to the financial status of police officers, and strengthen education to make police officers deeply aware that they will be dismissed from their posts in serious cases.
CHANG,JUNG-HSING said that in the future, he will use actual cases to make police officers vigilant. He knows that it will severely damage the image of the police and harm individuals and families. “From the bottom of my heart, I don’t want to do anything illegal or disciplinary.”
Unit supervisors should take the initiative to conduct self-examination and never protect their faults when disciplinary cases occur. Management should be conducted on the go. “Don’t just sit in the office.” They should understand the living and working conditions of the police officers and learn about them in depth if they find any discrepancies. In particular, they should strengthen the management of those who are prone to disciplinary violations.
