KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian Police Anti-Corruption Plan will be the blueprint for the force to curb corruption and crime committed by police personnel.
Bukit Aman’s Department of Integrity and Compliance (JIPS) director Comm Datuk Zamri Yahya said the plan, which runs from this year to 2024, will be presented on Thursday (November 26) by the inspector general of policeman Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.
Among some of the measures that will be taken will be equipping police officers with body cameras, he said.
“Police personnel assigned to patrol and highway control tasks will be equipped with body cameras from next year to assist them in their work and protect them against any allegation of wrongdoing. The level of responsibility will definitely increase,” he said.
It added that the police administration department would carry out a strict review of the officers considered for critical positions such as the district police chiefs (OCPD), as well as the officers of the secret societies and gambling division (D7) .
“We want to ensure that those selected are not vulnerable to abuse of power or corruption,” said Comm Zamri.
Speaking about the launch of the Police Anti-Corruption Plan by Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador on Thursday (November 26), Comm Zamri said it would help strengthen integrity, root out corruption and instill good governance.
He added that the plan, which will run until 2024, is in line with the National Anti-Corruption Plan launched in 2018.
“This is definitely the right direction to move towards the future of the police force,” he said on Wednesday (November 25).
He said that the plan is based on six axes, supported through 57 initiatives.
These axes are human resource management; security intelligence; application of law and order; investigation and prosecution; maintain public order and harmony; and financial management and procurement.
“The Police Anti-Corruption Plan will certainly change the rules of the game for a better future for the police force,” he added.
Comm Zamri also said that raising the integrity of the force should not lie with JIPS alone.
“We need the collective responsibility of all levels of the police force to ensure a successful change of force,” he said.
He also said that the Inspector General of Police had also invoked Regulation 3 (C) of the Public Officials Regulations of 1993 on the responsibility of supervisors, under which supervisors have the responsibility to ensure good conduct and compliance with the work of the police personnel in his charge. .
“Disciplinary action can be taken against them if it is found that they have been negligent in that role,” he said.
