KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 \u00a0\u2014 A total of 70 lower-ranked police officers will be upgraded to the rank of detective which will enable them to investigate the misconduct of police officers and staff, said Inspector-General of Police,\u00a0Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador. He said these were all from the Integrity\u00a0and Standard Compliance\u00a0Department\u00a0(JIPS) in Bukit Aman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I approve them (the lower-ranked police officers) to be upgraded to detectives, they will qualify for an investigation allowance of RM300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are not many of them who will be made detectives, and only 70 in Bukit Aman,\u201d he told Bernama in Bukit Aman here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdul Hamid said the RM300 investigation allowance was a motivation for them as their work involved investigating police officers or staff involved in misconduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis includes police officers or staff who accept bribes, do not do their work, violate the law, are in cahoots with crimes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdul Hamid said the 70 detectives in Bukit Aman will only go to the districts and contingents with many cases of police misconduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a related development, Abdul Hamid said JIPS duties which were previously monitored and headed by lower-ranked police will be upgraded and monitored by police officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to upgrade the head of JIPS at the district and contingent levels to the level of police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt present, in Sabah and Sarawak, the policemen are of Sergeant rank, how can a Sergeant monitor a police officer of ASP rank who has committed misconduct? he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdul Hamid said police had obtained the approval to increase the number of posts in JIPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe government has approved 400 new posts for JIPS alone, and I am grateful that the government has given attention to this matter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
