In response to recurring complaints about police officers consuming alcohol while in uniform, the Nagaland police department has issued a stern directive aimed at upholding the force’s integrity. The department unequivocally stated that any officer found intoxicated in public or while on duty in uniform will face stringent disciplinary actions.
Key actions outlined include potential suspension from service upon being found guilty of such misconduct. Moreover, the repercussions extend beyond immediate disciplinary measures; officers involved in such activities will face long-term consequences, including negative impacts on their annual increments. This policy will also influence promotion considerations and performance assessments during the Competency and Performance Test (CPT).
The Nagaland police department stresses that adherence to this directive is mandatory for all personnel. The objective is to preserve the honor and integrity of the police force, ensuring public trust remains intact. By taking a firm stance on this issue, the department aims to foster a disciplined and professional environment amongst its ranks.
