All members of the National Police are also asked to have superior technical abilities from criminals. Thus, they do not have room and opportunity to commit criminal acts in Indonesia. "Especially in dealing with increasingly complex and sophisticated transnational crimes, the National Police must also be able to follow the development of i-tech and establish cooperation to strengthen the security of our country," he said. Moreover, the task of the National Police is also very influential on the nation's resilience in facing various challenges and competitiveness in the midst of global competitions. Apart from that, Jokowi was happy with the results of a survey from one of the institutions that placed the National Police as the second-best institution. It is also hoped that this result must be maintained and even improved. Thus, the public will always be satisfied with the performance of the Police in various ways.

"Because the challenges ahead are not getting easier, both in terms of geopolitical, from an economic, technology, climate perspective, everything is getting more complicated and full of uncertainty," said Jokowi.
