JAKARTA - Member of the Indonesian Regional Representative Council (DPD RI) Committee 1 Muhammad Hidayattollah (Dayat EL) suggested that the National Police should remain under the President of the Republic of Indonesia.
According to Dayat El, the placement of the National Police under the President is a constitutional design that has gone through careful consideration, both in terms of national security stability, the effectiveness of cross-sector coordination, and the principle of strong governance.
"I agree and agree that the National Police remains under the President of the Republic of Indonesia. This is the ideal choice to maintain clear command, institutional neutrality, and national security stability," said Muhammad Hidayattollah.
Dayat El assessed that structurally and functionally, the National Police has a strategic role in maintaining public security and order, law enforcement, and protection for all citizens.
Therefore, the existence of the National Police directly under the President allows for quick, coordinated, and nationally responsible policymaking.
Furthermore, he emphasized that the discourse on changing the position of the National Police needs to be studied in depth and comprehensively, taking into account the long-term impact on democracy, the rule of law, and public confidence.
"The most important thing is not just about the structure, but how the National Police remains professional, modern, and trusted by the people. As long as it is under the President, supervision can still be strengthened through legislative mechanisms and public participation," he added.
As a member of Committee I of the DPD RI which deals with government, political, and security affairs, Dayat El emphasized his commitment to continue to encourage the strengthening of state institutions that are oriented towards the interests of the people, the constitution, and the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).
He hopes that the public discourse regarding the position of the National Police can run in a healthy, objective manner, and prioritize the interests of the nation above the interests of politics for a moment.
