Firli Bahuri: Brimob 'Shields For Life' KPK

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri said that the Police Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) also supports the KPK in eradicating corruption crimes.

"We KPK people have felt the positive aura of every member of Brimob who served as 'life shields' as we carry out our functions and obligations as the spearhead of corruption eradication," Firli said in his statement in Jakarta, Sunday, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Brimob Corps which fell. every November 14th.

He said that starting from the activities of arresting the suspect, searching, evacuating the suspect from the Crime Scene (TKP) to the KPK's Red and White House, and escorting the suspect is always assisted by Brimob.

"The presence of Brimob has always been proven to provide a sense of security for us, especially when we are in a place or in a situation that is less or less conducive when carrying out the task of exposing corrupt practices in various places or regions in this country," said Firli.

According to him, the determination and ability of Brimob members who were able to turn a cloudy situation into calm and cleanness made the KPK calmer and more focused because it felt protected by Brimob, fellow state servants in Indonesia.

"Many reports have come to me and some of them must have been known or seen by the public regarding the persistence and courage of Brimob officers when escorting KPK investigators in the field," he said.

One of them, he continued, was the momentum in which Brimob members who were in charge of assisting several KPK investigators, did not take a single step back, let alone disband when ordered to do so until they were said to be reported to their leadership by a state official.

"This is a form of Brimob professionalism as a protector, protector, and public servant who has a firm attitude, determination and courage in carrying out and carrying out duties wherever they are placed," he said.
