Da'i Bachtiar (born 25 January 1950) is an Indonesian police officer who was Chief of the Indonesian National Police from November 2001 to July 2005.[1][2]
On 15 October 2002, he announced that Indonesian investigators at the scene of the Bali bombings had recovered traces of C-4 plastic explosives. It is rumoured that there was rivalry between Bachtiar and intelligence chief Hendropriyono. In November 2002, after Amrozi had been arrested, Bachtiar had a face-to-face meeting with him. Bachtiar laughed, shook hands and posed for photographs with Amrozi.
Currently Bachtiar holds positions as a Professor of Security & Counter-Terrorism at Edith Cowan University and Presidium Chairman of Indonesia Crime Prevention Foundation.[citation needed]
