In 1999, the Indonesian National Police separated from the military structure to become its own independent entity. The transformation to an accountable, civilian police force has been an essential part of Indonesia's transition to democracy. However, getting past its militaristic legacy and winning the trust of the general public is often still a challenge. For over four years, The Asia Foundation has supported the development of Community- Oriented Policing (COP) programs that assist police in their efforts to reform, improve services to citizens, and reduce crime.
