Farouk Arnaz – The National Police have a new plan to restrict the use of case brokers in attempts to crack down on pervasive corruption – limiting access to police headquarters.

The new initiative – which essentially involves closing about 10 doors – was announced by Comr. Gen. Nanan Soekarna, deputy chief at the National Police.

"We need scrutiny," Nanan said. "We're not robocops or angels. Journalists, plaintiff and legal advisors, don't tempt our member or ourselves with bribery."

Nanan said police would restrict access to National Police headquarters by limiting entry to just one point, so it could be recorded who entered and exited the building. The Corruption Eradication Commission had a similar system, he said.

The National Police are perceived to be one of the country's most corrupt institutions and riddled with case brokers, who act to negotiate deals between criminals and police.

Insp. Gen. Mathius Salempang, the National Police's deputy chief of detectives, said limiting access to police headquarters deserved special attention. Asked by reporters when the National Police aimed to be free of corruption, Nanan answered, "The sooner, the better."
