Yesterday (6th) in the early morning of yesterday (6th), a conflict between drinkers and a crowd causing trouble occurred outside a well-known hotel on Baoshan Street, Taoyuan City, Taoyuan City. Afterwards, it was reported that police criminal cadres were involved. The city police said today that the parties involved were the team leader of the investigation team surnamed Wu of Dayuan Branch and Zhongli The branch captains surnamed Wen, surnamed Liu, and surnamed Zhang went to the hotel box to mediate the dispute "without reporting". They will be punished in accordance with the "Reward and Punishment Standards for Police Personnel". Wu will be punished with a major demerit and will be transferred to the administrative police. Wen will be given two demerits, and Liu and Zhang will each be given one demerit.

According to the investigation of the Municipal Police Department, a total of four criminal cadres from the Dayuan and Zhongli branch investigation teams and the anti-gang squads received information beforehand and learned that gang members were under the police's control. They were suspected of having previous disputes and might meet for negotiations. In order to prevent gang conflicts and possible violence, based on public security maintenance and preventive measures As a result, I went to a restaurant in Longtan to learn about the case; after the meal, the four people went to the hotel box to mediate the dispute without reporting it. Later, due to a conflict at the scene, they all left first and reported the handling situation to the unit supervisor, and then filled out the "Report on Contact with Specific Persons" in accordance with the regulations above for review.

The Municipal Police Department stated that after the incident, it took the initiative to notify relevant personnel and police officers on the scene to investigate the case, and reviewed relevant information and images to clarify the facts and whether there were any violations of relevant regulations. However, it was involved in the hotel, drinking, and after the conflict occurred at the scene, it did not immediately notify the police in the jurisdiction and failed to handle it appropriately. Improper response will lead to accidents and seriously affect the reputation of the police. The police department will never shy away from the misconduct of police officers on duty. It adheres to the principle of "police discipline and police handling, and no indulgence will be tolerated." If any other violations of laws and disciplines by police officers are discovered, they will be investigated in accordance with the law and will not be lenient. All police officers are required to take warning to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
