Media Release 25th May 2011 POPCRU is livid about sexual assault on women by Police Officers POPCRU has reiterated its condemnation of police officers who undermine the integrity of their services to the masses by sexually assaulting women and girls in the line of duty and/or off-duty. This comes after a seminar addressed by the Deputy Minister of Police, who articulated a view that rapes by police officers is on the rise. The unethical and improper act by members is contrary to the spirit of our Constitution Chapter 18, Section 24, Subsection 24.16 which vividly outlines that “unprofessional conduct shall includes, amongst others, sexually harassing others”. POPCRU will continue to subscribe to the natural principle of justice which says any person shall remain not guilty until proven otherwise.
And such cases must be investigated to deliver justice speedily as many of workers are put on long suspensions with less attention to resolve such allegation urgently by Management. We are calling our membership to refrain from such un-candid behaviour as it tarnishes the image of the service in general and the organization in particular.
