JAKARTA (JP): City Police Chief Maj. Gen. Dibyo Widodo
yesterday appointed Lt. Col. Gregorius Mere, previously head of
general crimes of the city crime investigation directorate, the
new East Jakarta police chief to replace Lt. Col. Miyanto.

The new officer, better known as Gories Mere, has recorded a
wide range of successes in investigating challenging crimes in
the city.

Miyanto has been appointed as head of the personnel
directorate of the South Kalimantan regional police in the
province capital of Banjarmasin.

In his inaugurating speech, Dibyo reminded Mere to
professionally handle the eastern part of the city. East Jakarta
is noted for its crime rate, which is largely due to it bordering
on two other towns: Bekasi and Bogor. (bsr)
