JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has rotated a number of key officials, including moving West Papua Police Chief Irjen Johnny Eddizon Isir to the Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police.
The rotation is in accordance with the Police Chief's Telegram Letter Number ST/99/I/KEP/2026, and the position of West Papua Police Chief was entrusted to Brigadier General Alfred Papare who had previously served as the Central Papua Police Chief.
"The West Papua Police Chief has been transferred to the Head of Public Relations of the National Police," said Head of Public Relations of the West Papua Police, Kombes Benny Ady Prabowo, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, January 24.
According to Benny, the transfer of position is part of the dynamics of the Polri organization in order to develop careers, structural refreshment, as well as improve the professionalism and performance of personnel.
Inspector General Johnny Eddizon Isir was considered successful in maintaining the security and public order situation (kamtibmas) in West Papua which remained conducive, so that he gained confidence to carry out his duties at the headquarters level.
"West Papua's security has been conducive, and this is the assessment for the leadership," said Benny.
He said that the change of position of the West Papua Police Chief this time had its own meaning because both the old and new officials were native Papuans who were trusted by the state to occupy strategic positions in the police environment.
Brigadier General Alfred Papare before taking on the duties as the Central Papua Police Chief, had served as Deputy Head of the West Papua Police who of course already understands the characteristics of the region and the social dynamics of the community.
"Now, Brigadier General Pol Alfred Papare has been reappointed as the West Papua Police Chief," said Benny.
Benny then hoped that the West Papua Police under the leadership of Brigadier General Alfred Papare would further strengthen the institutional synergy of the National Police with all elements of the West Papuan community.
