JAKARTA – East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Police Chief Inspector General Lotharia Latif appealed to his members to accept criticism submitted by the public in any form.
"Yes, as long as the community provides constructive criticism, members do not need to be reactive because it is a sign of the community's love and affection for the Police," said East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Police Chief Inspector General Lotharia Latif, quoting Antara, Saturday, October 30.
The NTT Kapolda's appeal was conveyed in relation to the mural painting in the 2021 Mural Festival which could contain criticism of the Polri institution for the performance that has been carried out so far.
The two-star commander said that if there is criticism from the public, the thing that needs to be done is introspect to find out what needs to be improved within the institution.
"If we get criticism, we have to introspect ourselves again to fix what needs to be addressed," he added.
He also said that this mural festival is also part of wanting to show the public that the Police really respect freedom of expression.
Meanwhile, National Police Chief General Listyo S Prabowo, at the peak of the 2021 Bhayangkara Mural Festival at Bhayangkara Field, said that the mural competition activity was proof that the agency he leads is not anti-criticism and respects freedom of expression.
"Today is proof that we value freedom of expression," he said, in Jakarta.
