JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said there are a number of challenges that will be faced by TNI and Polri officers in the future, one of which is the challenge of technological crimes that continue to develop.

"The crime challenge faced by police officers is very formidable. Crime uses advanced technology and cross-country cyber crime," said Jokowi while presiding over the Prasetya ceremony for TNI and Polri Officers at the State Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 14.

Jokowi asked Polri officers to have the ability to adapt and take mitigation to deal with it.

The former governor of DKI Jakarta hopes that the newly appointed officers can demonstrate their ability to face a number of challenges in this era of advanced technology.

They, continued Jokowi, must have science and technology and be agile and innovative in facing character changes due to the progress of the times.

There are a number of technological advances mentioned by Jokowi. One of them is the advancement of military technology, which now uses artificial intelligence, automation, augmented reality, and cyber technology that is more advanced than before.

"You must follow and catch up with the times. You must be part of the excellent quality of Indonesian human resources, who master science and technology which is agile and innovative," he concluded.
