JAKARTA - Political and intelligence issues analyst Boni Hargens appreciates the performance of the National Police Chief, General Pol Listyo Sigit Prabowo, in encouraging reforms in the National Police.
According to Boni, under the leadership of Listyo Sigit, the National Police showed significant progress, especially in the aspect of institutional cultural transformation. He assessed that this change was an important indicator that the reform of the National Police was not only administrative, but also touched on values and work ethics.
"The National Police under the leadership of the National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo has experienced many fundamental cultural progress and transformation. This is a positive precedent that the National Police has significantly reformed itself," said Boni in Jakarta, Wednesday, May 6.
Boni added that the National Police Chief's open attitude in accepting various external recommendations, including from the National Police Reform Acceleration Commission (KPRP), reflects the maturity of the institution in the democratic system.
He also assessed the rapid steps taken by the National Police in anticipating the crime of hoarding fuel and gas as a concrete response to the potential energy crisis due to global dynamics.
"The KPRP recommendation is a strategic input to strengthen and accelerate the reform agenda that has been and is being carried out by the police under the command of the National Police Chief Listyo," he said.
Furthermore, Boni assessed that there were three important aspects reflected in the leadership of the National Police Chief, namely strengthening institutional accountability, accelerating cultural transformation, and increasing public confidence in the National Police as a law enforcement institution.
Previously, President Prabowo Subianto received the National Police Reform Acceleration Commission (KPRP) at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 5. The meeting, which lasted more than three hours, discussed a comprehensive report on the agenda for reforming the National Police, covering short-term to medium-term policy directions, including proposed revisions to the National Police Law and supporting subsidiary regulations.
Chairman of the KPRP Jimly Asshiddiqie conveyed all the results of the commission's work since its establishment, including the process of absorbing aspirations from various parties. The results of the work were formulated in 10 report books containing comprehensive policy recommendations for reform.
The Commission also proposed an internal reform agenda that includes changes to a number of regulations in the Polri, with a target for implementation by 2029 as part of the medium-term agenda.
During the meeting, President Prabowo gave directions on a number of strategic issues. Two important decisions delivered were not continuing the discourse on the formation of the Ministry of Security and the affirmation that the National Police remained under the President.
This provides institutional direction for the National Police in the future. This reform roadmap reflects the systematic and structured approach taken by the KPRP together with the National Police, so that each stage has a strong policy foundation before being executed in the field.
