JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri hopes that no more leaders of the Traffic Corps (Korlantas) Polri are involved in corruption cases such as Djoko Susilo, who was convicted in the corruption case simulator driving license (SIM) and sentenced to 18 years in prison.

"God willing, there will be no more Polri leaders involved in corruption cases, just DS! There should be no more," Firli said as quoted from a written statement about Korlantas 65th anniversary, Tuesday, September 22.

Djoko Susilo's involvement in the corruption case, he said, was a dark period for the National Police Corps, although now they can rise again.

"The Traffic Police Corps quickly rose to face, undergo, and go through these times. Given that corruption crimes were committed privately, not by institutions," he said.

As for a number of improvements that have been made, namely improving services to the community such as speed of handling traffic accidents, SIM services, STNK and BPKB, as well as opening community service outlets in the form of drive thru to door to door service.

"There is even a service that can be done with an online system, we can feel it now," he said.

With these services, he said, in addition to making people easy to access, they also prevented corrupt practices. This is because the service process, from administration to payment, is carried out transparently.

"The National Police also conducts a very strict selection in terms of admitting new members as state servants in the Bhayangkara Corps, especially as traffic police officers who meet and serve the community on a daily basis," he said.

"We all believe in the commitment of the police as protectors, protectors and servants of society who are anti-corruption, ready at all times to provide a sense of security, comfort and peace without any fear of threats and interference," he concluded.
