JAKARTA - Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo is the only candidate for the Indonesian National Police Chief (Kapolri) to replace General Idham Azis, who will soon retire. The appointment of Komjen Listyo Sigit was discovered after the DPR received a letter from the President (Surpres) Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
The Surpres number: R-02 / Pres / 01/2021 was conveyed by the Minister of State Secretary Pratikno to the Chairman of the DPR, Puan Maharani, at the Parliament Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 13.
The appointment of Listyo Sigit Prabowo as a candidate for the National Police has generated many responses as a natural thing because Komjen Listyo Sigit and Jokowi have a close relationship.
The closeness of the two began when Jokowi served as Mayor of Surakarta (Solo). Meanwhile, Listiyo Sigit at that time accompanied him as the Surakarta Police Chief in 2011.
The closeness of the two continued in 2014. At that time, Jokowi was elected president. Listyo is back as his adjutant.
If you look at history, there are several Chiefs of Police who have served as aides to the president. From the VOI summary, there are four presidential aides who are number one in the Police.
First, General (ret) Kunarto. He had served as President Suharto's adjutant for 9 years or from 1979 to 1986. After becoming the President's adjutant, his career was fairly successful. He has held strategic positions such as Wakapolda Metro Jaya and Kapolda North Sumatra.
On February 20, 1991, General (Purn) Kunarto was appointed as the 11th National Police Chief replacing General (Purn) Mochammad Sanoesi. For about two years he served as the National Police Chief, until finally leaving his post on April 5, 1993.
Furthermore, the Chief of Police who had served as the President's adjutant was General (Purn) Dibyo Widodo. He served as President Suharto's adjutant until 1992. After completing his duties as the President's adjutant, General (ret) Dibyo Widodo was appointed as the North Sumatra Regional Police Inspector, Deputy Head of the Nusa Tenggara Regional Police, Metro Jaya Deputy Police Chief, and the Metro Jaya Police Chief.
His career continued to skyrocket until he was appointed and remsi as the 13th National Police Chief on March 15, 1996. During his two years of service, General (ret) Dibyo Widodo finally let go of his service on June 28, 1998.
Still during the leadership of President Soeharto, the Chief of Police who previously served as the President's adjutant was General (Purn) Sutanto. He was President Soeharto's adjutant for about 3 years or from 1995 to 1998.
After being released as a presidential aide, General (Purn) Sutanto occupied an important position in the police. For example, the Deputy Head of the Metro Jaya Regional Police, the Head of the North Sumatra Regional Police, the Head of the East Java Police, the Kalemdiklat Polri, and the Head of the National Narcotics Agency (BNN).
Until finally, General (Purn) Sutanto was appointed as the 18th National Police Chief during the presidency of President Suilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
General (Purn) Sutanto officially served as National Police Chief on July 8, 2005. He replaced General (ret) Da'i Bachtiar. For three years, General (Purn) Sutanto served as the National Police Chief, until it ended on September 30, 2008.
Finally, the Chief of Police who had served as the President's adjutant was General (ret) Sutarman. He was President Abdurrahman Wahid's adjutant for about a year or from 2000 to 2001.
Prior to serving as the National Police Chief, General (ret) Sutarman had experienced several positions. Some of them are the Head of the Palembang Police Headquarters, the East Java Regional Police Dirreskrimum, the Surabaya Police Chief, the Riau Archipelago Police Chief, the Head of the Indonesian Police Education and Training Center, the West Java Police Chief, the Metro Jaya Regional Police Chief, and the Police Headquarters in 2011 to 2013.
General (ret) Sutarman was then appointed by President Suilo Bambang Yudhoyono as the 21st National Police Chief to replace General (Purn) Timur Pradopo. He served for approximately 2 years from 25 October 2013 to 16 January 2015.
However, his career as Chief of Police was halted when President Jokowi removed him. Until finally, the position of the National Police Chief was replaced by General (ret) Badrodin Haiti.
