"Meanwhile, the sub-directorate is now a small sub-directorate under special crimes. And it can't handle crimes that are now indistinguishable," he said.

With the increasing number of cyber crimes, the quality of crimes can be the same in every regional Police.

"That the Indonesian Police (in the eastern part) will face small cases, cannot. They will face cyber crimes of the same quality. So they can no longer be distinguished," he said.
