PETALING JAYA: Police lock-up rules were revised in 2014 to prevent custodial deaths but the rank and file are oblivious to them, says EAIC chairman Datuk Yaacob Md Sam.
EAIC is the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission which monitors misconduct allegations against enforcement agencies.
The commission’s inspections following the two custodial deaths this year found those manning lock-ups were still relying on old procedures, said Yaacob.
The inspections were done at the Bera (Pahang) and Klang (North) district police headquarters.
