Col. Adang appointed city detective chief
JAKARTA (JP): City Police Chief Maj. Gen. Dibyo Widodo installed Col. Adang Rismanto yesterday as head of the Jakarta Crime Investigation Directorate, replacing Col. Nurfaizi.
Nurfaizi is being promoted to National Police spokesman with the rank of brigadier general.
In his speech, Dibyo ordered the newly installed CID head to immediately solve a number of crimes which are still pending.
Several questions needing answers include finding the main suspect in the killing of Herbin Hutagalung's family and the suspects and motive behind the killing of six-year-old Levina Dwisy. A number of banking frauds recorded recently in the city also need serious attention from this directorate, Dibyo said.
Adang Rismanto, who has just left his latest position as chief of the Semarang police in Central Java, is already familiar in police circles in the city as he has spent most of his career here.
Before he was posted to Semarang, he was the South Jakarta police chief. His name became well-known in the national media following the investigation of the mysterious death of a young businessman at the resident of actress Ria Irawan in South Jakarta. The crime has still not been solved.
Adang, 49, was also assigned to the Kebayoran Baru police precinct.
When asked to comment on his chief's orders, Adang simply said: "I'll continue and, if necessary, improve our investigation to meet the command."
Nurfaizi, 49, is widely known as a low profile detective. Under his supervision, the city police crime investigation directorate solved a large number of serious crimes based on scientific investigation.
The cases include finding persons shooting at a five-star hotel and a bank headquarters in Central Jakarta and the killing of members of Rohadi's family.
Nurfaizi holds a number of certificates showing his participation in a number of studies and seminars on police- related issues in Germany, the United States and several Asian countries.
Rumors in police circles state that Brig. Gen. Nurfaizi will only be the National Police spokesman for a few months.
"The position was only a stepping stone so he could be promoted to general. From there he will be assigned to another position more suitable to his talents," said a senior officer. (bsr)
