Inspector General Dadang Hartanto has been appointed as the Kapolda Metro Jaya (Jakarta Metropolitan Police Chief) by National Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto. Hartanto previously had been asked to meet with Prabowo Subianto. He is a classmate of the National Police Chief, both graduating from the Akpol (Police Academy) in 1994. This appointment places Hartanto in a key leadership position overseeing security in the Jakarta metropolitan area. The decision highlights a promotion within the ranks of the Indonesian National Police. Hartanto’s prior meeting with Prabowo Subianto adds a layer of context to his new role. His long-standing relationship with General Seto likely influenced the decision.
