NCB-Interpol gets new boss

JAKARTA (JP): National Police Chief Lt. Gen. Dibyo Widodo
installed Col. Wayan Arjana as the new secretary of the National
Central Bureau (NCB)-Interpol on Wednesday.

Wayan, 51, previously served in Indonesia's Interpol central
bureau for six years with his last position as deputy secretary.

Like in many other countries, the local central bureau of the
176-country-member police organization here is led by the
Indonesian police chief.

"I'll try to give the best of my best," Wayan told The Jakarta
Post yesterday in fluent English.

Prior to being assigned at the bureau, Wayan served as chief
of the Jember and the Banyuwangi police forces, both in East
Java, and an instructor at the police crime investigation
department training center in Mega Mendung, West Java.

He spent his four years at the Interpol's bureau as head of
the Interpol department.

Wayan's promotion was followed with the installation of his
predecessor, Brig. Gen. Ahwil Lutan, as Coordinator for Expert
Staff to the National Police Chief.

Ahwil replaced Maj. Gen. Ronny Lihawa. (bsr)
