社会｜兵庫県警、十数人を処分へ / Society | Hyogo Prefectural Police to discipline a dozen or so individuals.

Summary

More than ten investigators from the Hyogo Prefectural Police’s Foreign Affairs Division have been reported to have engaged in drinking alcohol and playing pachinko while on duty, prompting an investigation by the police inspector’s office.

As a result, their actions have been deemed negligent and damaging to the department’s credibility, and it is expected that several individuals, including supervisors, will face disciplinary action.

Admin’s Note

The recent disciplinary actions taken by the Hyogo Prefectural Police raise significant questions about the trustworthiness of the police force. Engaging in drinking and gambling while on duty not only erodes public trust but also affects other dedicated police officers. As Chako has pointed out, we need to consider the reasons behind why so many officers engaged in such behavior. Moving forward, there is a need for initiatives aimed at enhancing a sense of duty among officers.
