JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives Commission III from the Gerindra faction, Habiburokhman, appreciates the quick steps taken by the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, and his ranks who did not hesitate to give direct sanctions to police officers who violated the SOP to provide a deterrent effect.

"We really appreciate the quick steps of the National Police Chief, the Head of the Professional and Security Division, and Regional Police who do not hesitate to punish the problematic police officers", said Habiburokhman, Sunday, October 24.

According to him, decisive and quick action is necessary because most members of the National Police work hard and maintain the good name of the institution.

"Don't let the tilapia at some point damage the pot of milk. We know that most National Police personnel work hard to serve the community and maintain the good name of the institution. Starting from maintaining security to helping with the handling of COVID-19", said the Gerindra politician.

He considered that if the violators were given severe punishment, they would rethink their actions.

"If the person who violates the law is severely punished, I'm sure the other members of the Police will think 1000 times before committing the offense", he said.

Previously, the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, firmly ordered it to take effect. Namely, one by one police personnel who committed violations were dismissed and criminally investigated.

Likewise, those who are still in the process of ethical proof, are immediately removed from their positions. National Police Commission appreciated.

General Listyo Sigit Prabowo ordered his staff not to hesitate to give sanctions to police officers who violate the rules. He also asked for decisive action to be carried out quickly.

"Strict action is needed. So please don't take long, remove it immediately, PTDH, and criminal proceedings. Do it immediately and this will be an example for others. I ask that no head of the regional head office has any doubts. When in doubt, I take over", said Sigit in his direction to the ranks via video conference at the National Police Headquarters, South Jakarta, October 19.
