JAKARTA - The code of ethics examination for the inactive Bima City Police Chief, AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro (DPK), is planned to be held on Thursday (19/2) following the designation of the person concerned as a suspect in alleged drug possession.

Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General of Police Johnny Eddizon Isir, in Jakarta, Sunday, said that the ethics trial would be held at the Bureau of Professional Accountability at the National Police Professional and Security Division.

"Later we will update (announce) the results of the code of ethics hearing against AKBP DPK. The implementation of the hearing will be held at the Wabprof Divpropam Polri. It is planned for Thursday, February 19, 2026," he said.

He explained that AKBP Didik had been named a suspect and was charged with Article 609 paragraph (2) letter a of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Law Number 1 of 2026 concerning Criminal Adjustment and Article 62 of Law Number 5 of 1997 concerning Psychotropic Substances.

AKBP Didik is threatened with life imprisonment or a maximum prison sentence of 20 years and/or a maximum fine of Rp. 2 billion and a maximum prison sentence of five years and a maximum fine of Rp. 200 million.

"Currently, AKBP DPK has not been detained by the Directorate IV of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police because the person concerned is still undergoing special placement by the National Police's Divpropam related to the code of ethics process which is still in the further process," said Johnny.

Regarding this case, the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police has formed a joint team consisting of the Narcotics Crime Directorate of the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit and the Narcotics Investigation Directorate of the West Nusa Tenggara Police to further investigate.

"All preventive measures and law enforcement carried out by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police are preventive strikes as a form of government protection for the Indonesian people, in line with the President's direction," he said.

Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police's Narcotics Division announced on Friday (13/2) that AKBP Didik had been named a suspect in alleged drug possession.

The disclosure of the case began with the arrest of two domestic assistants belonging to the suspect, a member of the Police, Bripka IR and his wife, AN, with evidence of 30.415 grams of methamphetamine at the two private houses. From the results of the interrogation of the NTB Police Narcotics Division, the involvement of AKP Malaungi (ML) in the network was found.

Furthermore, the continued examination by Bidpropam of the NTB Police against AKP ML showed positive results for amphetamine and methamphetamine. A search in the AKP ML's work room and office found five packages of methamphetamine weighing 488.496 grams.

"Based on the information from AKP ML that there was involvement from AKBP DPK in this alleged drug abuse," said Isir.

The joint team of the Paminal Bureau of the National Police and the Narcotics Crime Directorate of the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit then conducted a search at the private home of AKBP DPK in Tangerang on Wednesday (11/2). From that location, investigators found 16.3 grams of methamphetamine, 50 ecstasy pills, 19 alprazolam pills, 2 happy five pills, and 5 grams of ketamine.
