Farouk Arnaz – The National Police cut some 300 rogue police officers from its ranks in 2012 as part of an effort to curb corruption in the department.

The reportedly corrupt cops ran the gamut of titles and divisions, from former Traffic Corps. Chief Insp. Gen. Djoko Susilo to the average trooper, Comr. Gen. Nanan Soekarna said.

This year's numbers were similar to last year's where about 300 police officers were cut from the force amid corruption allegations.

"The gist is that their naughtiness is not because they are dumb, but because of their lack of commitment," Nanan said. "[It is] because this is not in the right place," he said as he pointed to his heart.

The department recently introduced a number of policies at the National Police headquarters aimed to cut down on ethics violations, he said.

Nanan listed a new oath for high-ranking officers that required them to promise not to engage in corruption or ethical violations as one of the measures.
