Lt. Col. Latief gets new job

JAKARTA (JP): City Police spokesman Lt. Col. A. Latief Rabar was installed as head of sub-agency for Documentation and Research of the Information Service yesterday.

He was installed during a ceremony at National Police Headquarters and will replace Col. Suyitno.

The ceremony was presided over by Chief of the Information Service, Brig. Gen. I.K. Ratta.

Suyitno, 54, who by law will enter retirement next year, has been given a position outside the police force.

During his six and a half years as police spokesman, Latief saw four city police chiefs come and go.

For the time being, Latief will still keep at his daily duties as the spokesman for the City Police until the appointment of his successor.

"As a member of the Armed Forces, I have to be ready to do whatever jobs given to me," he said. (bsr)
