Former North Sumatra Police Wadirkrimsus Fired For Alleged Sexual Deviations

The former Deputy Director of Special Criminal Investigation (Wadirkrimsus) of the North Sumatra Police, Adjunct Senior Commissioner of Police (AKBP) DK, was dishonorably dismissed or Disrespectful Dismissal (PTDH) due to allegations of deviant sexual orientation, namely bisexual, involving relationships with men and women.

The news of this dismissal was confirmed by the Head of Propam Division of the North Sumatra Police, Senior Commissioner of Police Bambang Tertianto. He said that PTDH's decision against AKBP DK had been handed down by the Propam Division of the National Police Headquarters.

"He has been fired. It was a long time ago, he was fired by the National Police Headquarters," said Bambang Tertiato on Monday, February 10.

When asked about the possibility of raids on other police officers to prevent similar incidents, Bambang emphasized that his party would not conduct raids.

According to him, since the recruitment process as a cadet of the Police Academy (Akpol), Tamtama, and NCO, there have been strict prohibitions related to sexual orientation.

"There is no raid. Registration has been prohibited, so if there is such a problem, we will make sure through personality mapping when recruiting," he said.

AKBP DK who was fired in 2024 had filed an appeal against the decision, but this effort was rejected. Previously, he had served as the Head of the Labuhanbatu Police in 2021 before taking up the position of Wadirkrimsus Polda North Sumatra until he was finally dismissed.
