Mahfud MD Calls The Case Of Teddy Minahasa The Benection Of The Chief Of Police In Reforming The Police

Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD said that the prosecution of Inspector General Pol. Teddy Minahasa showed the steps taken by the Police to reform themselves. "Maybe we can see it from the other side, to continue to support the Police excited because everything that happened was actually steps by the Police to reform themselves," Mahfud said in a press release received in Jakarta, Saturday, October 15. The incident that hit the Police institution in a row, such as the Ferdy Sambo case, the Kanjuruhan Stadium case, followed by the case of Teddy Minahasa who was arrested for drug cases, resulted in intense criticism from the public against the law enforcement agency. "That's understandable if the public then criticizes him. "However, let's look at this as a step that is the other side of the point of progress of the Police," said Mahfud. Mahfud said that the police chief's firmness shows all levels of the National Police that the National Police Chief can act decisively. "For example, against Sambo. That was his firm action. "This means that the Police have the power to do that and can do that," he said. Regarding the case of Teddy Minahasa, Mahfud also stated the same thing. "If you think more negatively, it could be that the confessions of the mothers who were arrested for carrying drugs, which stated that the mothers were working with Teddy Minahasa, were closed and Teddy was left alone," he said. "That can be done. However, the National Police Chief took firm steps to do that. "This is done by the National Police Chief, reveal, arrest, fire, 'That's how the National Police Chief is," he added. On that occasion, Mahfud also mentioned that there were a number of Police achievements that had not received much public attention, such as the arrests of gambling dealers who ran abroad. "It is not easy to take prisoners who have fled abroad if they do not have seriousness and a strong network, and give understanding to other countries to take it," said Mahfud. Mahfud asked the public to look at the opposite side of the series of events experienced by the National Police institution. "Without preventing you or all of us from criticizing the performance of the Police, look also on the opposite side that this is actually a step forward from the National Police Chief and the National Police that he can take action against anyone who is stubborn," said Mahfud. from the aspect of President's direction, Mahfud said, "Let's build the Police as the police of the people who are simple with people's lives, not arrogant, not arbitrary, not hedonistic, and not excessive in life."
