MARAN: A total of 59 police officers and rank-and-file personnel were dismissed between January and May this year over misconduct, including narcotics-related offences.
Bukit Aman Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) director Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad said 492 police personnel faced disciplinary action in the same period.
"Integrity-related offences topped the list of disciplinary cases at 333 cases, followed by governance offences at 45 cases, narcotics offences at 42 cases, criminal activity at 38 cases, syariah offences at 19 cases and bribery at 15 cases.
"Of the personnel involved in disciplinary proceedings, 59 were dismissed, while others faced other actions, including suspension from duties," he said after opening the Maran police headquarters here today.
Azri said the department received 2,637 complaints and reports of misconduct in the same period, of which 1,892 were officially lodged and 745 were submitted by members of the public.
