he National Police have vowed to keep police recruitment free from corruption and have called on the regions to maintain clean recruitment.
National Police chief expert staffer for management, Insp. Gen. Arief Sulistyanto, delivered the message through a video conference on Tuesday with regional police chiefs after signing a commitment to keep police recruitment corruption-free.
"The new candidates have to follow the procedures without nepotism. We will take immediate action if there is indication of corruption," said Arief.

Arief said the police had provided a hotline number on their website that people could phone to report such misconduct.
Police recruitment was essential as there was not yet an ideal ratio of police officers to inhabitants, Arief added. (dis/wit)
