For the police personnel responsibility board, the woman states that she works in a stressful environment, works alone and that it was difficult to take a break, reports the Siren news agency.
She is also said to have alerted her immediate superior about her situation, which she believes was not taken seriously.
Woman: Had no other choice
According to the police region, it must have made a “relatively large number of bookings and cancellations”.
When the woman was confronted about it all, she had no objections. She then testified about her stressful work situation and also stated that she had made more bookings and cancellations of the same kind than those that the personnel responsibility committee had drawn up.
She herself admitted that it was wrong to make such bookings, but that she had no other choice to manage her work situation.
Receives salary deductions
The incident was initially reported as misconduct, but the prosecutor chose not to initiate a preliminary investigation. Instead, the case was handled internally by the police.
The police region in which the woman works believes that the woman “disregarded her obligations in the employment”. The woman will therefore receive a disciplinary sanction in the form of a salary deduction.
In the decision, it is written that it is not possible to “rule out that the procedure may have had a negative impact on the police’s service to the public”.
