Nature of Allegations
 
4.2 All complaints received and registered by CAPO are categorized by the nature of the allegations. Where there are several allegations in a complaint case, the more serious one will be taken as the principal allegation and the case is generally categorized as such. Appendix VI illustrates the categorization of complaints received by CAPO in 2002, 2003 and 2004 according to the nature of allegations. The five major areas of complaints against the Police in 2004, in descending order, were Neglect of Duty (35.1%), Misconduct/Improper Manner/Offensive Language (30.1%), Assault (21.2%), Unnecessary Use of Authority (5.1%) and Fabrication of Evidence (4.2%).
