The officer, assigned to a local station, received a pay reduction as disciplinary action on October 23. The oversight office said it responded based on established procedures. The case followed other misconduct this year, including an illicit-photography referral involving a senior officer and disciplinary measures against two others for sexual harassment. The incidents have prompted renewed scrutiny of internal management. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=16401148&amp;ymd=2025-11-18\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fukuoka-prefectural-police-WEB-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-132182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fukuoka-prefectural-police-WEB-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fukuoka-prefectural-police-WEB-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fukuoka-prefectural-police-WEB-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fukuoka-prefectural-police-WEB-1.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
