In front of the existing figures and youth, Daniel apologized for the incident with the commitment to improve management within the Sorong Police. "I apologize for the incident, as the Kapolda, I am responsible for the wrong type incident so that I will conduct an internal evaluation and take a restorative policy for the incident," he said. Based on the results of the error search carried out by unscrupulous members because they were not careful. Inside the computer there is a program called text predictive so that when the typing takes place there are other words that appear that do not match the typed word. Finally, without being properly observed by the person, a fatal error occurred. "I am willing to give a warning to members, both individuals and the Head of the Intelligence Unit and the Sorong Police Chief. We have processed the members, examined them, and will conduct a disciplinary hearing and code of ethics on mistakes," he explained. He is committed to conducting a holistic management evaluation to check whether there is involvement from other members, then will see carefully whether the typos incident was intentionally carried out by the member concerned. "I will evaluate all who may be involved in it, I will take action in a management manner," said Inspector General of Police. Daniel Tahi Monang Silitonga. The Kapolda is ready to do anything to resolve this typical incident case in order to maintain and support the condition of the security and social order in the Southwest Papua region, as long as this problem is quickly resolved. "I have conveyed to all those present, whatever the best steps I am ready for. I want a follow-up meeting where I am ready, this is for the common good. We really don't mean anything, I myself have no intention of doing that action," said the Kapolda. Meanwhile, Koorwil of the Regional 3 Indigenous Council of Doberay Ronald Kondjol stated that the incident should be an evaluation material and a valuable lesson for the police institution. Doberay emphasized that the National Police is a funnel and a model that is a role model for the entire community, especially those in Papua. "Security is not only the responsibility of the police and the TNI, but is a shared responsibility. I ask all parties to keep the situation safe and not to be provoked by issues that will harm themselves," he said. He was worried that if the community was provoked, it would be ridden by the interests of certain people. "Therefore, I invite the public not to take any actions that can harm themselves, let's maintain security and social conditions remain conducive," he asked. Previously, the Sorong Police through the Head of Intelligence and Security Unit, Kompol Julfian Sihombing, issued a letter of rejection of the demonstration permit from the indigenous community alliance to save customary land and Papuans loaded with mistipulation.

According to him, in the letter of rejection of the demonstration permit numbered B/14/VIII/2023 the indigenous community alliance saved customary land and "Papuan human", but the wrong typing became "primordial human". This condition then received a lot of criticism from the indigenous Papuan people because it was considered to have built a narrative that led to racism.
