New police post dedicated

JAKARTA (JP): Chief of City Police Maj. Gen. Hindarto
dedicated a new police post near the Bintara housing complex in
West Bekasi on Wednesday.

"The new police post is a pilot project to test the
feasibility of establishing such posts in other parts of the
city," Hindarto said at the dedication ceremony.

He said standard police posts built on spacious plots of land
and equipped with modern facilities are badly needed to keep up
with the rapid development of the city, which is opening up new
residential and business areas.

The new post was built by the developer of the Griya Bintara
Indah housing complex on a 472-square-meter plot of land at a
cost of Rp 79 million (US$35,900). The money for the structure,
which was donated to the City Police, was donated by area
residents.

The post is equipped with a wide variety of supporting
facilities, including computers, telephone equipment and
detention cells capable of accommodating six people.

The facility is expected to help police officers improve
service to the public, Hindarto said. (hhr)
