JAKARTA - Senior political analyst Boni Hargens assessed that the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia (Polri) under the leadership of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo continues to show transformation as a humanistic, professional, and committed institution to support government programs and serve the community, especially during the holy month of Ramadan 2026.
According to Boni, the National Police has established synergy with various ministries and state agencies to ensure that the security situation remains conducive during Ramadan. Cross-sectoral coordination is carried out intensively so that the public can carry out their worship safely, orderly, and diligently.
"The National Police has proven itself to be an irreplaceable strategic partner in the implementation of various priority government programs, ranging from food security to controlling the prices of basic commodities that have a direct impact on people's daily lives," Boni said in a statement, Saturday, March 7.
He explained that the role of the National Police is not only as law enforcement, but also as a facilitator of social development that also supports efforts to create a safe, peaceful, and prosperous society.
"This approach reflects the transformation of the paradigm of the National Police, which is oriented towards sincere and sustainable public services," he said.
Boni also assessed the success of the National Police in maintaining national conditions was inseparable from cooperation with various parties. This collaboration involves ministries, state institutions, civil society organizations, to religious communities in various regions.
According to him, the hard work of the National Police during Ramadan has received a positive response from various sectors of society.
"The hard work and dedication of the National Police in supporting government programs and serving the community during Ramadan has received a positive response from various circles, ranging from state officials, religious figures, to the community who feel the direct benefits of the presence of the National Police," he said.
He assessed that the Safari Ramadhan and Social Service activities of the National Police 2026 were one of the tangible forms of the presence of the National Police in the community. Through these activities, thousands of National Police personnel directly provide social assistance to people in need.
"Thousands of Polri personnel visited orphanages, nursing homes, and families in need in various regions by bringing food packages and compensation as a form of social concern," said Boni.
In addition, the National Police Chief and the ranks of the National Police leadership also conducted a safari to a number of mosques, surau, and pesantren to socialize with the community and absorb aspirations.
"The National Police Chief and the ranks of the National Police leadership conduct a safari to various places of worship to visit, listen to the aspirations of the community, and pray together for the safety of the nation," he said.
Boni added that the transformation carried out by the National Police under the leadership of General Listyo Sigit Prabowo was also seen from a number of performance indicators which were considered to show significant changes.
He said that in the last four years there has been a decrease in cases of violence by about 80 percent and a decrease in abuse of authority by 83 percent.
"The significant decrease in various cases of violations reflects the success of consistent and courageous internal reforms," he said.
According to Boni, the transformation of the National Police not only concerns changes in administrative procedures, but also touches on organizational culture by placing the community as the center of service.
One of the indicators of this change, he continued, is seen from the decrease in the number of arrests related to demonstrations. This shows a shift in approach from the previous tendency to be repressive to more humanistic and dialogic.
"This change reflects a paradigm shift towards a more humanistic, dialogic, and respectful approach to civil rights of the community," said Boni.
He assessed that the journey of the transformation of the National Police is still continuing with the commitment to provide security and justice for all Indonesian people.
"The National Police is not only a law enforcement agency, but also a part of the big Indonesian family that is present to serve, protect, and care for every citizen from Sabang to Merauke," he concluded.
