JAKARTA - The disclosure of the case of Inspector General Teddy Minahasa related to the drug case has again tarnished the Polri institution. Not yet let up from the spotlight on the Ferdy Sambo case plus the Kanjuruhan Tragedy, General Teddy Minahasa made the public shocked again.

The National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, has repeatedly emphasized that strict action will be taken against anyone in the Bhayangkara Corps who violates the rules/laws. President Joko Widodo while gathering Polri officials at the Palace some time ago also highlighted the declining public trust in the Police.

Not only because of the internal case, but about lifestyle, Jokowi has been 'flipped'.

"I receive too many reports, return to lifestyle, small matters but can disturb the confidence of the Police," said Jokowi.

"Car matters, big motorbikes, trivial matters, what shoes, what clothes, what the public sees today, that's what we have to understand in a world situation that is full of openness and public complaints against all members of the Police," added Jokowi.

When viewed from the latest survey, the level of public trust in the National Police has fallen freely after being hit by the Ferdy Sambo case. In his findings, only 59.1 percent trust the Police.

"In 2018, even trust in the police was at 87.8 percent. In 2019, after the 2019 presidential election, trust in the police decreased to 72.1 percent. Now in 2022, the Ferdy Sambo case makes the trust in the police decrease. to 59.1 percent," said Director of LSIGI - LSI Denny JA, Ardian Sopa, in an online survey presentation, Tuesday, October 18.

In addition to the Ferdy Sambo case, the Kanjuruhan Tragedy case has also contributed to reducing the image of the police. Where the victims died in the dark tragedy of Indonesian football was very much, namely 132 lives lost.

"The police are being blamed for using tear gas, which has expired," explained Ardian.

The Chief of Police's Ultimatum

The National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, has warned the 9 newly inaugurated regional police chiefs. Sigit asked the regional police chief to restore the level of public trust in the National Police, which had achieved the highest satisfaction some time ago.

"I entrust all of my colleagues to restore public trust, public trust in the Polri institution," said Sigit in his mandate, Tuesday, October 18.

The National Police Chief ensured that he would carry out direct monitoring and supervision. If his staff is unable to gain public trust again, then as a leader, the National Police Chief will not hesitate to evaluate anyone.

"I will follow, I will supervise. And those who can't, can't, can't, I will evaluate," said Sigit.

The National Police Chief also asked the newly inaugurated police chiefs to carry out law enforcement that is just for the entire community indiscriminately. Because, according to Sigit, this is one of the factors that increase public trust in the police again.

"Realize all of our hopes so that the National Police can become a Police who are firm, humanist, loved and close to the community. I entrust all of this to all of my colleagues. And carry out all these mandates with all my might. Do the best you can, brothers and sisters," said Sigit.
