JAKARTA - The National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, is considered to have opened a new chapter in the development of human resources for the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia by offering the opportunity to join the SEA Games athletes. This policy has received a positive response from athletes and is considered a strategic step in strengthening the police institution.
Political analyst Boni Hargens said the enthusiasm of the 101 SEA Games athletes who expressed interest in joining the National Police reflected the high trust of young achievers in the police institution.
"The response of these athletes shows that the National Police is seen as a respectable service space for the children of the nation who want to continue to contribute to the country," Boni said in his statement, Monday, January 19.
According to him, the National Police Chief's policy is not merely a recruitment program, but reflects a moral commitment in building a strong, professional, and ethical police institution.
"What the National Police Chief Listyo Sigit has done is an important breakthrough. This is not a normal recruitment, but a manifestation of moral commitment to present the best human resources who have proven dedication, discipline, and performance," said Boni.
He assessed that the SEA Games athletes have a character that is very relevant to the current needs of the National Police, such as sportsmanship, mental endurance, high discipline, and the ability to work under pressure.
"Athletes are accustomed to facing competitive situations, high pressure, teamwork, and clear goals. These values are very needed in increasingly complex and dynamic police tasks," he said.
Boni added that the opening of a special lane for outstanding athletes also showed the seriousness of the National Police in translating the vision of transformation into concrete steps.
"This proves that the National Police is serious about innovating in the development of human resources and realizes that the nation's superior talent is not only born from a certain educational path," said the Director of the Indonesian Electoral Institute (LPI).
Furthermore, he assessed that this strategy would have a positive impact on strengthening the institutional capacity of the National Police. By joining national athletes, the National Police will obtain personnel with a winning mentality, high endurance, and good adaptability.
"With more qualified and ethical human resources, the National Police will be able to carry out its role as a guarantor of a transparent and accountable legal democracy," said Boni.
He also believed that the presence of national athletes in the Polri body could increase public confidence in the police institution.
"Athletes are public figures who are respected by the community. When they join the Police, it will have a positive psychological impact and strengthen public confidence," he said.
According to Boni, this policy also shows the face of the National Police as a modern institution that is open to change and adaptive to the needs of the times.
"This is a long-term investment. If it is carried out consistently with a clear career development system, this policy can become a model for human resource development for other state institutions," concluded Boni.
