Bogor Police gets new chief

BOGOR (JP): Bogor Regional Police chief Col. Abubakar
Nataprawira has installed Lt. Col. Ferial Manaf as the new Bogor
Regency Police chief, replacing Lt. Col. M. Ruslan Riza.

In his speech on Saturday, Abubakar ordered the new officer to
focus his attention on strategic areas, especially heavy
industry centers, tourist destinations, farms and plantations,
and upmarket residential complexes.

"In this regent alone, there were a total of 933 crimes
recorded last year, in other words a crime occurred every 10
hours," he said.

Abubakar also instructed all personnel of the Bogor Regency
Police to seriously handle crime in the area as criminals there
had turned more violent.

"Therefore, every unit commander is called upon to handle all
problems properly," he said.

After graduating from the Police Academy in 1975, Manaf, 45,
was posted at Bekasi, Subang, Purwakarta, Ambon, Jakarta and
Probolinggo.

His last posting was as chief of the Probolinggo Police in
East Java.

His predecessor, Ruslan, was promoted to head of the
Yogyakarta Traffic Police Directorate. (bsr/24)
