'€œ[Blusukan] can bring the police closer to the people,'€ Edi said at the Polda Metro Jaya headquarters on Wednesday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

'€œThe new chief must call for all chiefs of city and precinct police to encourage all members of the police to reach out to the people,'€ he added.

Edi said his commission would carry out a thorough review of four potential candidates to replace National Police Gen. Timur Pradopo, whose tenure will end early next year, in order to give a recommendation to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono before he makes a final decision.
