The Head of the Legal Information Center of the Attorney General's Office, Harli Siregar, emphasized that the deployment of TNI members for security at the high prosecutor's office and the public prosecutor's office would not interfere in handling cases.
"The role of security is only carried out on physical security, so it is not in the context of interfering in case matters," said Harli as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 15.
He gave an example of security at the AGO building, Jakarta, which has involved TNI soldiers since about six months ago. During that period, he said, the TNI did not interfere in the case handled by the AGO.
"That's proof that their presence does not interfere with the handling of the case. The announcement of the suspect, the announcement of the confiscation, the search will continue to be carried out here," he said.
According to Harli, the number of TNI personnel guarding the Indonesian Attorney General's Office is two platoons. However, not all personnel were immediately deployed in one guard because security was situational and adjusted to needs.
Meanwhile, regarding security at the high prosecutor's office and state prosecutors throughout Indonesia, Harli said that his party was still working on technical implementation which would be coordinated with the TNI.
He believes that security from TNI personnel will not collide with the internal security of the prosecutor's office. This is because security from military soldiers is only passive as an effort to anticipate.
"I see that this security is only passive. So anticipating, don't let things happen that are not desirable," said Harli.

He explained that this security was a follow-up to the memorandum of understanding between the TNI and the prosecutor's office. One of the points of cooperation agreed is that the TNI can provide assistance to the prosecutor's office in carrying out its duties and functions.
"While there is an MoU (a memorandum of understanding), yes, asked for that assistance, that support, actually that's all," said Harli.
Previously, the Army Chief of Staff General Maruli Simanjuntak issued a Telegram Letter Number ST/1192/2025 dated May 6, 2025, regarding orders to the ranks to support the security of high prosecutors and state prosecutors throughout Indonesia.
Head of the Information Service of the Indonesian Army Brigadier General TNI Wahyu Yudhayana said the substance of the letter addressed to the ranks of the Commander of the Military Regional Command (Pangdam) of the Indonesian Army was related to security cooperation within the prosecutor's office.
"What will be carried out in the future is institutional security cooperation, in line with the Jampidmil (Junior Attorney General for Military Crimes) structure at the prosecutor's office," Wahyu said.
