Jakarta, Indonesia – The police say they will hold a boot camp for student troublemakers following brawls between rival high school students.

Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said on Monday that the police would cooperate with the Education and Culture Ministry to send the students to the Lido National Police Academy in Bogor, West Java, in November.

Although specifics of the training were under discussion, it would include physical training, general knowledge instruction and training, Rikwanto said.

"Those who will undergo the training are expected to become models for their schoolmates. Who knows if those students actually have high creativity and leadership potential," he said.

Rikwanto said that the boot camp would include students recommended by schools and those with criminal records.

The academy can host up to 1,000 students, although the police were still determining how many students would be required to participate, Rikwanto said.(aml/iwa)
