Kuala Lumpur cops see crime plunge as Mohamed Usuf takes top job from Rusdi

Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad assumed control as the temporary chief of Kuala Lumpur police operations effective immediately. The deputy chief stepped into this role after Rusdi Mohd Isa departed for a position directing the Commercial Crime Investigation Department at Bukit Aman headquarters on June 25. Officials conducted the transition ceremony at the local police headquarters with Hamzah Ahmad from the Integrity and Standards Compliance Department serving as witness. Hamzah emphasized that leadership changes represent more than administrative shifts and demonstrate public trust in law enforcement capabilities. He expressed confidence that Mohamed Usuf possesses the necessary experience and leadership qualities for success.

Rusdi addressed his former colleagues during his final monthly assembly meeting and highlighted significant security improvements under his leadership. Crime data revealed substantial decreases across major categories during the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year. Violent incidents dropped from 790 to 563 cases while property crimes fell from 3,377 to 2,453 cases. These statistics represent a 28 percent reduction in overall criminal activity.
