JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, confirmed the revision of Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the State Police of the Republic of Indonesia or the Police Law. He admitted that he changed the Police Law because there was a request.

Currently, the DPR is working on the revision. One of the articles that invite attention is related to the extension of the National Police's retirement.

"There is a request to revise the Police and TNI Law," said Dasco, Monday, May 20.

Dasco explained that the DPR had previously revised the Prosecutor's Law in 2021, one of which changed the retirement age and functional position of the prosecutor. So, said Dasco, there was a request to equate the revision of the Police Law and the TNI Law with the Prosecutor's Law.

"In order to be the same as the Prosecutor's Law on retirement and the expiration of functional positions," continued the Daily Chair of Gerindra.

Dasco said that the revision of the Police Law and the TNI Law had been delayed due to the implementation of the 2024 General Election. Therefore, according to him, the DPR will immediately complete the revision of the Police Law and the TNI Law after the election.

"Now that so that everything is the same among these law enforcers, we will then also revise it," said Dasco.
