Sergeant A was investigated by the police following an internal inspection for allegedly submitting false applications for sick leave and family care leave 30 times from October 2021 to December last year.


During the investigation, the police determined that Sergeant A submitted all supporting documents, and therefore, no criminal charges were established.



However, the police notified the responsible police station of the investigation results, judging that the failure to submit supporting documents at the leave application stage could be considered a violation of guidelines.
