SAITAMA -- A police officer has resigned after being reprimanded last month for disposing criminal complaints filed by more than 10 people at his home, the Mainichi Shimbun has learned.
The Mainichi Shimbun made the discovery after it gained access to relevant documents under the local government's information disclosure system.
The officer admitted to the allegations. "I kept the documents in my locker and forgot to submit them. When I was transferred, I took the documents home and disposed them," he was quoted as telling his bosses.
The 49-year-old officer with Saitama Prefectural Police accepted criminal complaints on more than 10 incidents such as theft and trespassing in 1994 and between 2003 and 2004 when he was working at police boxes, according to the force's inspection office.
Nevertheless, he failed to compile investigation reports and took home the complaints and disposed them.
