“The action is in response to complaints received from members of the public on professional misconduct of policemen.
“Beyond the feedback on police misconduct, the Force had reassured the public of commitment to prompt efficient service delivery.
“An ACP is also being investigated, 16 junior officers were facing disciplinary action for misconduct, while a traffic warden was dismissed.”
