SURABAYA - As many as 417 members of the National Police in the East Java Regional Police were declared to have committed violations throughout 2021, a decrease of 23 percent or as many as 593 violations in 2020. Of the hundreds of personnel, seven of them were dismissed with dishonorable discharge (PDTH).

"They were involved in criminal acts and drug abuse. That's why we (East Java Police) gave severe punishments in the form of PTDH to the seven personnel," said East Java Police Chief Inspector General Nico Afinta, at the East Java Police Headquarters in Surabaya, Friday, December 31.

Dismissal with disrespect for members of the Police in the scope of the East Java Regional Police has increased. Because last year, Nico said that no personnel were dishonorably dismissed.

Nico confirmed that strict action would be taken against the members involved in the case. On the other hand, it will give rewards to its employees who excel.

"We do reward and punishment.

Because we see and realize that good members should be rewarded, but members who violate are given coaching," he said.

Nico detailed that the members who were sentenced for violating the Police and Criminal code of ethics were 108 members who committed disgraceful acts, 107 made apologies, 36 tour of Duty members, 10 tour of area members and 8 people were retrained.

"The East Java Regional Police Bidpropam prioritizes preventive efforts to prevent violations committed by East Java Regional Police members," he said.

As for the outstanding members, Nico said 7,451 members of the East Java Regional Police experienced promotions, 3,288 members received honors, 1,070 received promotions, 1,234 members received general education development and 278 members received specialization education development.

"This is our commitment in providing reward and punishment. Likewise, when a member is involved in drugs or crime, we will take action," he said.
