National Police anniversary

Speaking at a ceremony marking the 67th anniversary (HUT) of the National Police (Polri) Monday, President Yudhoyono praised the force for their 'outstanding performance in enforcing the law and maintaining security and public order'. 14 years after its separation from the military, the police remain plagued by graft, impunity and torture, with a recent survey finding that 57% of the public were dissatisfied with law enforcement, up from 41% in 2010 and 50% in 2012.
