Hoegeng (born Iman Santoso; 14 October 1922 – 14 July 2004) was the Chief of the Indonesian National Police from 1968 to 1970. Hoegeng is historically renowned for being the most courageous and honest police official in the nation, in a time when a majority of government officials were corrupt. He was well known for his constant acts and efforts to eradicate corruption and power play in Indonesian policing and promote equal criminal justice. Hoegeng had one of the briefest tenures as Chief of the Indonesian National Police.
