Chapter 6 - PDRM Officers and Personnel Welfare: Observation
The Commission finds that all visited Police Districts Headquarters/Stations face
similar problems of insufficiency of basic facilities at the office; work force planning;
health issues; housing and improvement of condition and building structure. Based on
the observation, the Commission identifies burdened workloads have led to stress
among PDRM personnel due to clash of duties and family life. This clash causes
conflicts and contributes towards stress among PDRM personnel. At the same time,
they are more vulnerable of getting infectious diseases because of their duties which
deal with detainees in the area of poor ventilation system.
