Police: Revision Of The Police Law Regarding Retirement Age Increases Motivation To Work Better

JAKARTA - The Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Sandi Nugroho, said that the revision of Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the National Police was a motivation for police personnel to work better to serve, protect and protect the public.

Sandi said, one of the points revised in the law is related to retirement age from 48 to 60 years.

"With the addition of retirement age, it means that the age to serve the community, nation and state is also increasing. This can motivate us from the police to work better and be more useful," Sandi said at the National Police Headquarters, Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, May 30.

Sandi said that the revision of the Polri Law was an initiative of the DPR RI. Currently, the revision of the law is still in the discussion process and has not yet reached the President.

According to him, the addition of the retirement age for Polri members is based on surveys, studies and so on.

"Hopefully this (the addition of retirement age) can be a benefit for the police to work better in the future," he hoped.

Sandi also emphasized that the police law is complete. The things currently being revised are related to retirement age. As for the addition of the authority of the National Police in other matters outside, such as taxes, cyber and sovereignty, it has not been thoroughly discussed.

"Currently, the most important thing being discussed is related to the increasing pension. Then, other things are not discussed thoroughly because the police law is complete," said Sandi.
