Police reputation

It's no wonder bank customers say no to police protection (The Jakarta Post, Feb. 1). Considering their bad reputation in our country, people are reluctant to seek their help. Even when there is a theft, very few want police "help" to avoid having to deal with them later.

First the police help someone, and then they'll come back saying their children are ill and have to be hospitalized. If they improve their reputation, I'm sure people will begin to trust them. But when?
