JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo believes that the addition of the retirement age limit for police officers in the revision of the Police Law will not hinder careers.
"The retirement age limit, I think, but I haven't read it, it has been regulated so that it is related to congestion, related to the stuck position, all of this has been regulated," said Sigit in a press conference at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, reported by Antara.
The National Police Chief said the National Police would follow up on the mandate of the law to provide the services expected by the public and form a posture of an institution that the public can trust.
"And most importantly, how to make the police in the future more humane, more professional, more loved by the community," he said.
The National Police Chief emphasized the institution's commitment to adapt to challenges and changes in the times that are feared to bring about new problems.
Sigit also emphasized that efforts to create and maintain security and public order stability are the main conditions to support the realization of national development.
The plenary session of the Indonesian House of Representatives on Tuesday approved the Draft Law on the Third Amendment to Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia (RUU Polri) to be enacted into law.
One of the things regulated in the bill is the addition of the retirement age limit for Polri members.
Article 30 paragraph (5) letter c stipulates that the retirement age of four-star senior officers is at most 60 years. However, this limit can be extended by one year or according to the needs determined based on the presidential decree.
The retirement age for members of the National Police with the rank of private and soldier is 59 years, while for first officers, middle officers, and senior officers is 60 years.
The retirement age limit is excluded for members of the National Police who occupy functional positions whose retirement age is in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations for functional officials.
Members of the National Police who have special expertise and/or are highly needed in police duties can extend the retirement age maximum of two years on the proposal of the national police chief or according to the needs determined by presidential decree.
