BOGOR - President Prabowo Subianto has given a new picture of the face of the National Police that he wants. Not only as law enforcers and security guards, but also as drivers of various strategic programs that directly touch the needs of the community.
Prabowo conveyed this message when he led the 80th Bhayangkara Day ceremony at the Polri Brimob Training Center, Cikeas, Bogor Regency, Wednesday (1/7).
In his speech, the President assessed that the role of the National Police is now wider. The police force is not only present when there is a security disturbance, but also helps ensure that government programs run to villages and border areas.
Prabowo gave an example of the involvement of the National Police in the food security program, especially the increase in corn production, the construction of storage warehouses for harvested crops, the provision of boreholes, the construction of bridges, and disaster management.
He also gave special attention to the support of the National Police for the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program.
"I have no hesitation in saying that the kitchens built by the National Police are the best kitchens," said Prabowo.
According to the President, the assessment was not merely his opinion. A number of international institutions that came to Indonesia were also said to have appreciated the quality of the MBG kitchen built by the National Police.
Prabowo said that the character is inseparable from the history of the birth of the National Police which grew together with the struggle for independence. Therefore, the National Police must remain in the midst of the community and understand the problems faced by the people.
He emphasized that security cannot be separated from development. Without security, investment is difficult to grow, development is stalled, and people's welfare is hampered.
Therefore, the President asked the National Police to continue to strengthen synergy with the TNI, ministries, regional governments, academics, community leaders, business actors, and communities at the village level so that government strategic programs run effectively.
"Together with all Indonesian people. Never stop improving yourself," said Prabowo.
