The National Police chief nominee Comr. Gen. Tito Karnavian vowed on Thursday to internally reform the police institution.
"The most important thing is how we repress the corrupted culture, the hedonistic culture and the behavior toward the public," the current National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) chief Tito told journalists after passing a screening by the House of Representatives to be named Indonesia’s next top cop.
Tito, the best graduate in the Police Academy's class of 1987, acknowledged that the need for internal reforms was one of the challenges that the institution faced.
