Law and Order: Taipei police commissioner reassures public on safety
By Jason Pan / Staff reporter
Taipei Police Commissioner Chen Jia-chang (陳嘉昌) yesterday sought to reassure the public of the city police’s commitment to enhancing public security, announcing the results of recent crime sweeps and the arrest of major gang figures, as well as displaying a trove of confiscated weapons.
The department has been embroiled in controversy after a group of young men last month rampaged through Songshan Precinct’s Zhonglun Police Station, and the police allegedly tried to cover up the incident.
Chen told a news conference that his forces are resolved to clamp down on criminal groups and to curb street violence.
EDITORIAL: Police need to clean up their act
Recent news has not been good for the image of Taiwan’s police.
After a questionable arrest and detainment of a music teacher in Taoyuan made the headlines last week, news broke that officers at Songshan Precinct’s Zhonglun Police Station in Taipei allegedly deleted security footage showing a group of men storming into the station and damaging a computer on April 16.
While the video incident is still being investigated, a group of people on Monday night released hundreds of cockroaches into a restaurant where Taipei’s voluntary police force was hosting a banquet.
