nsp.Gen. Rycko Amelza Dhaniel has been inaugurated as governor of the National Police Academy (Akpol) in Semarang, Central Java, replacing his predecessor Insp. Gen. Anas Yusuf.

“Akpol governor is a position that is important for the development of the National Police in the future. Akpol will be revitalized,” said Police Education and Training Institute (Lemdiklatpol) head Comr. Gen. Moechgiyarto, who led the handover ceremony at Bhayangkara field in Semarang on Monday.

Rycko previously served as North Sumatra Police chief, while Anas is now serving as the principal policy analyst on police education and training management at Lemdiklatpol.

Anas was replaced following the death of second-year cadet Second Brig. Mohammad Adam after being beaten by his seniors on May 18. The police named 14 cadets suspects in the case.

As part of its overhaul, Moechgiyarto said, the academy will stamp out its long-preserved gang culture.

“We have set up a revitalization team. Several things will be evaluated, one of which is the life of cadets. Improving ‘the software’ is the first thing we need to do. In this regard, there will be no more cadet gangs here; it’s not a healthy tradition. We will ban it. We will impose sanctions to anyone who breaches this rule,” said Moechgiyarto. (foy/ebf)
