Bekasi has new police chief

BEKASI (P): Deputy to the Greater Jakarta police chief, Brig. Gen. Hamami Nata yesterday installed Lt. Col. Elfrizo L. Tobing as Bekasi police chief to replace Lt. Col. Hari Pribadi.

Hari Pribadi will start his new job as the West Jakarta police chief Monday to replace Lt. Col. Made Mangku Pastika.

The new Bekasi police chief, Tobing, will leave his former position as head of the narcotics division at the National Police Headquarters next week.

Under Hari's leadership, Bekasi police have recorded significant success, including solving the rape and murder of a housewife and her three children, which earned them a rare award presented by President Soeharto. (bsr)
