Wrongdoer cops punished
|
THE disciplinary unit of the Shenzhen police has issued more than 3,000 punishment decisions to policemen who have violated the law or rules in the past four years, it emerged yesterday.
According to yesterday's Shenzhen Special Zone Daily, the Police Affairs Supervising Unit, founded four years ago to prevent abuses of power within the powerful organ, discovered 154 mishandling cases out of 1,876 last year.
The unit has also uncovered a group of policemen driving cars with fake plates or using privileged police plates for personal use. Sixteen policemen were disciplined in connection with illegal cars last April.
While launching a crackdown on crime, the police this year vowed to clamp down on illegal practices and irregularities within its own ranks that have provoked public outrage. Jia Chunwang, minister of public security, has openly admitted that the quality of the police needs improving. (SD News)
