Kompas/Lasti Kurnia

Tito Karnavian

The celebration of the 71st Bhayangkara Day today, Monday (10/7), at Monas Square, Jakarta, marks one year since the Indonesian National Police has been led by Gen. (Pol.) Tito Karnavian. A variety of praise has been conveyed for the National Police\'s work, starting from the handling of terrorism, a task force to sweep extortion, up to the Ramadniya Operation 2017.However, questions also remain, especially on the alleged criminalization of ulemas and the handling of the case of abuse experienced by an investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Novel Baswedan.

"I see improvements in a number of things, but there are still others which have not been maximal," said the National Police chief when interviewed by Kompas Chief Editor Budiman Tanuredjo.
