Vietnam - Pot-bellied police ban

POT-BELLIED, short, or abusive traffic policemen will be barred from working on the streets of Vietnam's capital and assigned desk jobs instead as Hanoi police try to clean up their unsavory image, it was reported on Wednesday.

All police on traffic duty will be made to carry a book on the code of conduct, the official Tien Phong newspaper said.

"Little officers, or those with too big a belly will be moved to work in offices instead of guiding traffic and settling violations," Colonel Dao Vinh Thang, head of the Hanoi Traffic Police Department, told the newspaper.
