One and a half years in prison against gun-shooting agents required

What possessed a policeman to hefty fines for speeding in the letter and the money from the cash paid penalties to stabbing in his own pocket? Probably the financial need was high, because the man set his job with the game and hit that also lost.

The man is Thursday, as three officers of the Police Unit Rotterdam visit. Two of them would have gone out of their booklet which will appear in Schiedam against the rules in the fire on a car and then in the report to make false statements in an attempt to cover up their mistakes. In particular, the shooting of the two by the OM severely. They are accused of three persons deliberately to have to take life.

Agent number four is suspected as president of the kennel club IJsselstroom in Capelle aan den IJssel to have embezzled money and insurance fraud have been committed. The man would indeed have done outside work, but it is no less heavily against him.

Spotlights

,, Working with the police means you 24 hours a day is in the spotlight, '' said Frank Paauw, police chief of the Unit Rotterdam . ,, This means that you also in your free time must be blameless. Smoking cannabis during the weekend? Can not. If you go to a rave, you swallow a pill and you take after three days off, then follows as it sounds come across a disciplinary investigation. But even if, for example wages are seized by a cop. Then he or she is vulnerable and follows an investigation. This may for example lead to debt problems. Also, for just one example, incorrect discharge your weapon can mean a disciplinary investigation. ""

Paauw indicates that people are awakening lessons to prevent their behavior or performance leads to complaints. ,, Look, I still play football. When a disturbance occurs in the field, I'll keep aloof me. Imagine someone walks up to me and stated that I would have given a push. I can quibble get that leads to a disciplinary investigation. ""

All units of the police have a department security, integrity and complaints, which among other things deals with citizens' complaints about conduct of police officers, criminal and disciplinary investigations and screening. The number of police officers involved in an internal investigation into a possible breach of integrity over the past five years has remained virtually unchanged

Dereliction of duty

from the figures published by the national police force in March this year shows that has been done to an average of 2 percent of the approximately 65,000 employees research because possible dereliction of duty. In 2014, fired the national police eighty employees for neglect of duty. In the Rotterdam unit, with 7000 people, there were twelve. There were then 200 surveys doneare

,, The penalties  different.; the seriousness of the breach of duty, '' Paauw explains. ,, From a note and a reprimand, to deduct from salary or leave punishment and dismissal; the harshest measure. This could have dramatic consequences for the officer and his family. ''
