The Police
Where do police come from?
The story goes that the first police were in the Majapahit era, when the Prime Minister Gajah Mada formed the Bhayangkara armed forces to safeguard the security of the kingdom. I do not have enough knowledge to prove whether or not this is just imagination. But what does seem to have escaped this history is the importance of distinguishing between a 14th century kingdom and a 21st century republic.
