P

resident Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has awarded National Police chief Gen. Tito Karnavian the Bintang Bhayangkara Utama, the first class meritorious service star for a police officer, for his outstanding service and achievements.

The award was handed over by Coordinating Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Minister Wiranto, who represented Jokowi during the event on Friday at the National Police Headquarters in Jakarta.

National Police Spokesman Insp. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar said the award was the highest honor the National Police could give to an official who had made an outstanding contribution to the force

"President Jokowi has bestowed this award on Pak Tito for his successful contribution in developing the National Police in numerous ways. This is an outstanding achievement," Boy told journalists on Friday.

Within the National Police, there are three classes of stars that can be awarded to officials, namely the Bintang Bhayangkara Utama, Bintang Bhayangkara Pratama (second class meritorious service star) and Bintang Bhayangkara Nararya (third class meritorious service star), Boy explained.

The event was also attended by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) chairman Agus Rahardjo and deputy chairmen Saut Situmorang and Basyaria Panjaitan. (bbn)
