JAKARTA - The National Police Reform Acceleration Commission stated that one of the main public inputs was to ask the National Police to be independent and free from political interference.
This was conveyed by member of the National Police Reform Acceleration Commission Mahfud MD after absorbing the aspirations of community leaders, legal practitioners, non-governmental organizations, academics, and students in North Sumatra (North Sumatra).
"We have a lot of new things and strengthening. Everyone hopes that the police will get better. Of the 467,000 problematic personnel, only a few are, because there are still about 90 percent of personnel who serve the community well," said Mahfud accompanied by Ahmad Dofri who is also the President's Special Advisor for Security and Public Order and Police Reform at the Faculty of Law, North Sumatra University (USU), Medan, Friday, December 12 reported by ANTARA.
Mahfud, who is also a former Minister of Law and Human Rights, said that the aspirations of various regions were almost similar.
According to him, people's complaints about the National Police are also similar, and show common sense among the public.
"Therefore, the acceleration of reform will be carried out by involving the public in formulating fair, transparent, inclusive, and substantive policies," said Mahfud.
Meanwhile, the Dean of the Faculty of Law at USU, Mahmul Siregar, emphasized the importance of cultural transformation in the body of the National Police.
According to him, the ranks of the National Police need to prioritize the culture of service, protection, and care.
He also suggested improving the pattern of recruitment through cooperation with universities, strengthening ethics, morality in education, and career development.
Mahmul also emphasized the need for internal and external supervision involving the community.
"The National Police must prepare a system that can be accessed by the public, including SOP (standard operating procedures) for the rights of the community and service standards in the National Police institution," he said.
Meanwhile, North Sumatra community leader Soekirman conveyed a number of proposals, ranging from the affirmation of the neutrality of the National Police to the update of the National Police education curriculum.
He assessed that the ranks of the National Police must be more dominant as a guardian, not just a security apparatus.
"The police are often used as a political tool. We want the police to be neutral and to care for all layers of society, especially farmers, workers, indigenous people, and other vulnerable groups," said Soekirman.
