Police honor military chiefs

JAKARTA: The National Police awarded the Bhayangkara Star, the highest honor in the force, to the three military chiefs of staff at the National Police Headquarters in Jakarta on Thursday.

National Police chief Gen. Da'i Bachtiar presented the medals to Army chief Gen. Djoko Santoso, Navy chief Adm. Slamet Soebiyanto and Air Force chief Marshal Djoko Suyanto.

Suyanto was unable to attend the ceremony because he is in Mecca on a minor haj pilgrimage.

The military chiefs were honored for their work in assisting the National Police, whose anniversary falls on Friday. -- JP
