Many things happened during the leadership of Police Chief Iman Santoso Hoegeng. First, Hoegeng to reform several areas related to organizational structure at the Police Headquarters. As a result, newer structures seem more dynamic and communicative. Second, is the matter of the name change led police headquarters. Under Decree 52 of 1969, the title Commander of the National Police (Pangak) was changed to Chief of Police (Chief of Police). That way, the name of the Police Force Headquarters was changed to the National Police Headquarters (Mabak).
That change brought a number of consequences for some agencies that are in the Chief of Police. For example, the Regional Police Commander designation (Pangdak) became Chief Regional Police or Kadapol. Similarly designation Seskoak be Seskopol. Under the leadership role of the police in Hoegeng map International Police organization, the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO), the more active.

Another case is scandalous smuggling luxury cars worth millions of dollars by Robby tjah so. Thanks to insurance, the employer is only a few hours in jail Komdak. It berkua sanya jaksaan the guarantor to Jakarta to freeze any case. Who is the guarantor that? But, undaunted Hoegeng. In the case of smuggling luxury cars next, Robby did not move. Officers who arrested for receiving bribes. Rumors that widely, because the bottom of this too in the erosive Hoegeng retired, October 2, 1971 from the office of Jakarta Police chief. This case turns out to involve a number of officials and military officers (pp. 118). Shadow many people, retirement is the first in the police would have been nice. Enjoy a luxurious stay home and its contents, the vehicle is ready to use. All were obtained from the employers bribe.

Home office belongs to the administration of the Police Hoegeng. Some venture to buy a car Kingswood police chief, who later became the only car that he miliki.Pengabdian-full of Pak Hoegeng certainly brings consequences for everyday life. Never dituturkannya once, after quitting from the Police Chief and the pending retirement, a time he did not know what they could be eaten by the family because the house had run out of rice.
Hoegeng is a simple, he taught his wife and children the meaning of discipline and honesty. All families are forbidden to use the facilities as the son of a police chief.
"Even the children did not dare to ask for a bike too," said Merry.
