Police chief accepts survey
JAKARTA: National Police chief Gen. Da'i Bachtiar acknowledged
on Monday rampant bribery in the police force as reported in a
survey that cited the police as the second-most corrupt
institution in the country.
"I know there are police officers who ask for money on the
streets or when they receive reports on losses or criminal cases,
but we are working to remedy that," Da'i said on the sidelines of
a graduation ceremony of police cadets.
He added he fully accepted the result of the survey which was
conducted by Transparency International Indonesia (TII) as a
fact, saying it would serve as a reference for further steps he
would take to eliminate illicit practices within the police.
Da'i would not elaborate on the measures, but said he would
simplify bureaucratic procedures in order to minimize the
opportunities for police personnel to abuse their power.
"I call on the public not to offer money to police officers on
duty, and if they ask for money just note down their names and
report them to us," Da'i said. -- JP
