BOGOR (JP): Col. Abubakar Nataprawira, the chief of Palembang
Police in South Sumatra, was installed Wednesday as Bogor's new
regional police chief, replacing Col. Dadang Garnida.

Before his promotion to Palembang, Abubakar, 46, was the chief
of Central Jakarta Police, where he handled many serious cases
including the July 21 riots last year.

In the eyes of his superiors, Abubakar was marked for
promotion.

Yesterday's ceremony was conducted by West Java Police chief
Maj. Gen. Chairuddin Ismail, who briefed Abubakar on the
significant increase in blue-collar crimes, such as money
laundering, banking crimes and fake credit cards, in Bogor.

Abubakar's predecessor, Dadang, will be the R&D assistant at
National Police Education and Training Institution. (24/bsr)
