T
he Central Java Police dishonorably discharged a total of 18 police members in 2014, says Central Java Police chief Insp. Gen. Nur Ali in Semarang.
Six of them were officially dismissed during a ceremony at police headquarters on Monday.
'They were dishonorably dismissed for their involvement in drug syndicates, desertion and other crimes. Some of them were fired for leaving their duties for 30 days in a row,' Nur told The Jakarta Post.
The six police members discharged on Monday were actually dismissed in 2014, but given the Christmas and New Year's Eve security demands, they were dismissed on Monday.
'They have gone through the legal process. They were not present during the hearing, and some were even absent from the ceremony,' said Nur. (***)
