KUPANG - East Nusa Tenggara Regional Police Chief, Inspector General Lotharia Latif, dismissed or dishonorably dismissed 13 police officers who committed immoral acts and abandoned their families.

"I see many police cases that have not been thoroughly investigated, so I summoned the head of the Propam and Human Resources Division to discuss the matter to provide certainty about their status," said Inspector General Latif as quoted by Antara, Thursday, October 28.

He stated that the 13 police officers who were fired were some of them involved in old cases, namely since 2005, but the decision to remove them was only made at this time.

"In addition, there are cases that have been around since 2005 until now," he said.

From the outset, he stressed that he was not messing with his words about removing members who were involved in legal cases or misbehavior.

According to him, legal certainty to members who commit violations must be provided so that questions do not arise from the general public.

He also said that the decision to fire them was only made at this time because there were several cases that needed to be coordinated with the relevant agencies.

The two-star commander said the 13 police officers who were fired were from several Polres, including two from the Lembata Police, Kupang City Police (two policemen), Belu Police (one), North Central Timor Police (two policemen). Sikka Police (one police), Alor Police (one police), NTT Police (one police), East Flores Police (one person), and South Central Timor Police (two policemen).
