Building for witness protection

JAKARTA (JP): City police chief Maj. Gen. Nurfaizi officially
opened a two-story building at city police headquarters on
Tuesday to be used as a shelter for witnesses under police
protection.

"This is an effort to give police protection to witnesses in
our first official witness protection program. Four similar
buildings will soon be established in the capital as well,"
Nurfaizi told reporters.

The building, which comprises bedrooms and bathrooms, will be
watched around the clock by officers on duty, Nurfaizi said.

"I invite city residents who are honest but fear their lives
might be in danger if they opened up, to help me solve crimes. I
will offer them protection," Nurfaizi said. (ylt)
