Farouk Arnaz – The National Police's detectives unit has a new policy aimed at combating corruption – by requiring its members and visitors to wear an anti-corruption pins whenever they step into the unit's building.

Mathius Salempang, the deputy chief of the unit, told the Jakarta Globe on Monday that the unit's officers were required to were yellow-colored pin on their chest that says "Anti KKN [Corruption, Collusion and Nepotism] and gratification", while visitors to the unit were required to wear a blue pin saying "Guests: Do not intervene and bribe."

"This is one of our efforts to eradicate corruption and collusion within the detectives unit," Mathius said. "From the chest, we hope that it goes down into the heart.

"This also applies to the civil servants working here," he said, adding that the National Police aimed to implement the policy at all levels nationwide.

Last week, National Police deputy chief Comr. Gen. Nanan Soekarna announced that police would restrict access to the National Police headquarters by limiting entry to just one point, so it could be recorded who entered and exited the building.

"We're not robocops or angels. Journalists, plaintiffs and legal advisors, don't tempt our officers with bribery," he said.
