(c)
We take a very serious view on cases where staff of the disciplined services are involved in criminal offences. Measures have been taken by the various disciplined services to maintain discipline of their staff and to prevent them from collaborating with criminals, or abusing their power in the course of their work. These measures may vary to suit the particular requirements of the respective disciplined services. Nevertheless, the strategies adopted are similar and cover the following areas:
(i)
Integrity Checking
Integrity checking is conducted on all new recruits to ensure only persons of good integrity are taken in. In addition, serving officers will also be "integrity checked" again before they are posted to occupy certain sensitive offices.
