Jakarta – The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) said Wednesday it received 339 police complaints from the public from April to June.

Kompolnas followed up 322 of those complaints. It said it did not follow up on the remainder because they did not fulfill the necessary report requirements or were beyond Kompolnas' authority.

Kompolnas secretary Adnan Pandupraja said the number decreased from 403 complaints in the same period last year.

"There could be two opinions behind the decrease: Citizens see that the police are working better or they think that Kompolnas plays no important role," Adnan said.

According to the report, most complaints regarded bad services and abuses of power. The report also cited that police detectives received the most complaints. (rcf)
