JAKARTA - The new National Police Chief to replace General Idham Azis, Komjen Listyo Sigit, was asked to keep the Swakarsa Community Security Force (Pam) away from thuggery. Terrorism observer Ridwan Habib said the troops formed by Listyo must be different from the unsettling Pam Swakarsa in the past.
"Pam Swakarsa, we remember that people gathered with clubs and kept beating the demonstrators in 1999," Ridwan said in a discussion that was broadcast online, Sunday, January 24.
Education for the community, he continued, was also an important thing before this troop was formed. So that in the future, Ridwan said that the public could understand the reasons for the government to return Pam Swakarsa.
Furthermore, he also assessed that this Pam Swakarsa could take advantage of the local security unit or the Community Police Communication Forum (FPKM). So, these troops make the work of police personnel faster because they can oversee security in the community.
"They can later be mobilized by Bhabinkamtibmas or PR Polres and Polsek so that they can later provide information to the police about the security situation in their area," said Ridwan.
"So, for example, there are crowds, brawls, crimes, their FKPM friends can report using HT. I think this is good, not something to be worried about," he added.
It is known, in the fit and proper test with Commission III of the DPR RI, Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo will reactivate Pam Swakarsa. This policy was taken in order to create security and public order.
The concept of Pam Swakarsa is a mandate from Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the National Police which was then outlined in the Regulation of the National Police Chief Number 4 of 2020. It's just that recently, many parties have highlighted this troop because it is considered to cause vulnerability in the community.
Previously reported, the Indonesian Parliament has officially approved Komjen Listyo Sigit as the National Police Chief.
This decision was made after Listyo Sigit underwent a fit and proper test before Commission III of the Indonesian Parliament on Wednesday, January 20. Furthermore, regarding this agreement, the Indonesian Parliament has also sent a letter of approval to the Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) on Friday, January 22 yesterday.
"The National Police Chief's approval letter to the President through the State Secretary has been submitted with letter Number PW / 00958 / DPR / 1-2021. So the SK and the approval letter have been submitted," Secretary General of DPR RI Indra Iskandar told reporters, Friday, January 22.
Furthermore, after the letter was received, Indra said that the inauguration of Komjen Listyo would take place before the end of January. "Surely the inauguration will be carried out before January 30th. In accordance with the Kapolri pension limit," he concluded.
