Jokowi Mention About The Regional Police Chief-Resort Police Chief Facing Problem Organizations, The Police Says This

JAKARTA - The National Police emphasizes that they are indiscriminate and professional in law enforcement. All parties who violate will be dealt with according to the rules.

The statement was in response to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) who asked the Police to remain firm and authoritative. Because many Regional Police Chief (Kapolda) or Resort Police Chief (Kapolres) come to elders of community organizations who often make a fuss.

"The point is not to hesitate in carrying out law enforcement professionally and proportionally", said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo, when confirmed, Friday, December 3.

In fact, said Dedi, all ranks have been asked to maintain the authority of the Polri institution. Moreover, they will not go to organizations that often act up.

"The National Police still have to maintain the dignity of the organization and do not hesitate to carry out law enforcement", said Dedi.

For information, Jokowi asked the Police to remain firm and authoritative. The reason is that he saw that the new police chief or the new police chief came to the elders of community organizations who often made a fuss with the excuse of keeping their territory safe.

Jokowi admitted that he had asked the reason and the result was that this method was carried out so that the area remained safe. "But is that the right way? Be careful not to pawn authority with Sowan (facing a respected person) to lawbreakers", said Jokowi.

"I see a lot of this. Brothers and sisters must have authority. Police must have authority", he said.
