Police to launch brand new website

The National Police will launch on Friday a brand new website as part of the full implementation of the 2008 law on freedom of information on May 1.

Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang said Thursday the website could be accessed by the general public.

“Any new information must be accessible to the public via the Internet,” Edward said as quoted by Antara.

However, he refused to go into details about what would make the new website different from the existing one.

“Let’s just wait until tomorrow. The National Police chief will launch the website after Friday prayer,” Edward said.

The police will also join popular social networking Facebook and Twitter.
