Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto held a meeting for more than three hours with the National Police Reform Acceleration Commission (KPRP) at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 5. During the meeting, a comprehensive report was discussed regarding the agenda for reforming the National Police, including short-term to medium-term policy directions.
Chairman of the KPRP, Jimly Asshiddiqie, said that the commission reported all the results of its work since its establishment, including the process of absorbing aspirations from various parties. According to Jimly, the commission has held various meetings with stakeholders, both state institutions, community organizations, to the internal police, as well as visits to a number of regions to absorb public aspirations related to the reform of the National Police.
The results of the work were then formulated in 10 report books containing comprehensive policy recommendations for reform. According to Jimly, these recommendations include proposals for revisions to the Police Law to the preparation of derivative regulations to support the implementation of reforms.
In addition, the commission also proposed an internal reform agenda that includes changes to a number of regulations in the Polri. The reform is targeted to run until 2029 as part of the medium-term agenda.
During the meeting, President Prabowo accepted various points that were conveyed while giving directions on a number of strategic issues. One of them is related to the discourse on the formation of the Ministry of Security which was finally decided not to continue.
In addition, President Prabowo also made a decision regarding the mechanism for appointing the National Police Chief. After discussion, President Prabowo decided that the current mechanism would be maintained, namely the President would appoint the National Police Chief with the consent of the DPR. Furthermore, President Prabowo also paid attention to strengthening the external oversight function of the National Police through the National Police Commission (Kompolnas).
In this case, the President agreed to strengthen the role of Kompolnas so that it is more independent and has binding authority. In addition, the government will also regulate more strictly regarding the positions that can be occupied by members of the National Police outside the police structure. The regulation will be made in a limited manner in the legislation.
This meeting marks the final stage of the KPRP's duties after completing its mandate after being inaugurated by President Prabowo on November 7, 2025.
Furthermore, the results of the recommendations will be the basis for the formulation of policies and regulations to strengthen the Polri institution in the future.
