I was concerned if I still need a Police Certificate from my home country, Indonesia. Even though I lived in Indonesia for 12 years, I only lived there for only 5 months after my 16th Birthday.
Since I couldn't get a clear answer, I e-mailed the U.S Consulate in Frankfurt directly and asked them if I would require to have a Police Certificate. Here is their answer:
According to their answer, it looks like I would not require to have a police certificate that covers 5 months in Indonesia after I reached the age of 16. But, what surprised me is that they said 12 months instead of what I have been reading all over the net, 6 months.
Any opinion on this?
PS: The typing mistake of the word "on" instead of "one" is an actual mistake in the e-mail that the U.S Consulate sent me.

Dear Mr.....,
You have to provide police cert. from all countries where you still living or lived since the age of 16 longer than 12 month. But we don’t need on from the USA.
Kind regards
