JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Law Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej hopes that the implementation of the duties of the Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja (Satpol PP) in the field can run more professionally, proportionally, and oriented towards justice with a good understanding of the new Criminal Code.
In the socialization activity of the new Criminal Code (KUHP) in Palembang, South Sumatra, Wednesday (16/1), he said that the new Criminal Code was present as the result of an update of the national criminal law that was more just, humanistic, and reflected the values of Pancasila and local wisdom.
"Satpol PP has a strategic role in maintaining public order and enforcing local regulations," said the man, who is familiarly called Eddy, quoted by Antara.
Therefore, he said, socialization to regional officials, including Satpol PP, is very important so that the implementation of regional regulation enforcement tasks remains in line with the provisions of applicable national laws.
On the same occasion, South Sumatra Governor Herman Deru welcomed the visit and socialization. He emphasized the commitment of the South Sumatra Provincial Government to support the implementation of the new Criminal Code through capacity building for the apparatus and cross-sectoral coordination.
This activity is part of the government's efforts to increase the understanding of regional regulation enforcement officers (perda) and the public about the substance and spirit of the national criminal law reform.
During the visit, the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs was immediately greeted by the Governor of South Sumatra, accompanied by the Head of the South Sumatra Police, as a form of synergy between the central government and the local government in supporting the implementation of the new Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure (KUHAP).
The socialization activity was attended by the ranks of the South Sumatra Provincial Satpol PP and became an interactive dialogue room to discuss the substance of the new Criminal Code, including its implications for the duties and functions of local governments.
It is hoped that through this activity, a comprehensive understanding of the new Criminal Code can be built from an early age, so that its implementation in the future runs effectively and in accordance with the purpose of updating the national criminal law.
