Former E. Timor officers given top posts in Jakarta

JAKARTA (JP): City police chief Maj. Gen. Noegroho Djajoesman
installed yesterday Lt. Col. Pudji Hartanto Iskandar, formerly
the chief of East Timor's Bobonaro Police, as the Tangerang
Police chief, replacing Lt. Col. Aryanto Budihardjo.

Aryanto has been promoted to deputy chief of the Jakarta On-
the-Alert Police Unit.

Yesterday's ceremony was part of a series of replacements
among the city's top brass scheduled this week.

Most new officials assigned in the capital were previously
posted in East Timor.

City police have not explained the matter.

Lt. Col. Satrya Hari Prasetya, former chief of Baucau Police
in East Timor, will be appointed today as head of South Jakarta
Police.

Satrya replaces Lt. Col. Yudi Susharyanto, who will be
installed as deputy chief of Surakarta Regional Police in Central
Java.

On Thursday, former police chief for the East Timor capital of
Dili, Lt. Col. Setyanto, will replace North Jakarta Police chief
Lt. Col. Rismawan.

The latter will be assigned as head of the Aceh Police
Intelligence and Security Unit.

Early on Monday, Noegroho named Lt. Col. Kris Hermanto, former
Mobile Brigade commander in the tourist resort of Bali, as the
new Mobile Brigade commander in Jakarta.

His predecessor, Col. Sukirno, has been assigned as head of
West Java On-the-Alert Police Unit. (edt)
