Japanese police officer skips work to visit Tokyo Disneyland in bid to expedite resignation

Japanese police officer skips work for visit to Disneyland to expedite resignation

A young police officer in Japan took drastic measures to speed up his resignation by skipping work and heading to Tokyo Disneyland.

Following the discovery of his actions, the officer voluntarily resigned after receiving a formal reprimand from his police chief.

Spent time at Tokyo Disneyland with his partner

According to The Mainichi, the officer, in his 20s, was stationed at a police station in Kobe.

On 28 Sept, he stayed overnight at his partner’s residence without prior permission.

He also took an unauthorised day off on 1 Oct, prompting his father to file a missing person report and his colleagues to search for him.

The officer was later found at Tokyo Disneyland with his partner.

Both checked out of a nearby hotel on 2 Oct.

Voluntarily resigned after skipping his work

In June, it was revealed that the officer had accumulated approximately 4 million yen (S$24,000) in debt from luxury purchases and entertainment expenses.

Although he initially requested to resign, he was persuaded to stay in order to repay the debt.

The officer reportedly remarked: “I disliked having my personal life scrutinised and receiving financial advice. I thought refusing to report to work would force my resignation.”

 

After receiving a formal reprimand from the prefectural police chief on 31 Oct, he eventually voluntarily resigned.
