DENPASAR - Commissioner of the National Police Commission (Kompolnas) Albertus Wahyurudhanto said that the request for the disabling of the Head of the Propam Division, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, was under the authority of the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo. But what is clear is that the investigation into the police shooting case must be transparent.

"What has been done by Kompolnas has also given certain considerations and pluses and minuses, but the decision to deactivate it is with the National Police Chief, we can only provide input," said Albertus at the Bali Police Headquarters, Wednesday, July 13.

Kompolnas entrusts the handling of cases from a joint team formed by the National Police Chief. Externally, the investigation into the police shooting case also cooperates with Komnas HAM.

"We, Kompolnas, appreciate that the National Police Chief is willing to open up, so that this case becomes transparent, which has been the subject of speculation by many parties, the news is confusing and it will become clear later," he said.

According to Albertus, before the joint team was formed, National Police Chief Inspector General (ret) Benny Mamoto and National Police Commissioner Poengky Indarti had met the South Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Budhi Herdi Susianto to ask for an explanation of the police shooting case.

"We don't have the authority. But with the initiation from the National Police Chief to form a joint team, we supervise in detail. The stages, what steps are lacking, what we pay attention to and what we have to criticize. Of course, this team moves quickly, meeting one day can be two or three times depending on the need," he continued.

Regarding the irregularities that are considered by many people, the reputation of the Police in handling cases of police shooting police is said to be at stake.

"This is a case that has attracted the attention of the National Police leadership and with the involvement of Kompolnas we can observe in more detail what the steps are. Because this is a gamble on the reputation and integrity of the National Police and the National Police Commissioner. So, we are not playing games here," he said.
