JAKARTA - The presidential candidate for the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), Prabowo Subianto, ensures that the Indonesian Police (Polri) will remain under the president's authority if he is elected in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. According to him, the command to the National Police Chief will be easier if he is directly under or elected by the president.., Monday, September 18. The Minister of Defense denied the issue that he would return the Police under the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of Home Affairs. "Many people on behalf of me first, it was said that if the president was prebowo later, the police would be returned under the Minister of Defense, or under the Minister of Home Affairs or under what ministers, is that right?," he said.

In the video, Prabowo also expressed his gratitude to the National Police and Sespimma Lemdiklat Polri, who had invited him to explain the results of his thoughts regarding the importance of unity and integrity for the future of the Indonesian nation. "I thank you for being invited several times to PTIK, Sespim, yes, but because of Covid at that time, so for two and a half years I couldn't do what it would be wrong if I just had a vicon, it would be better if I went straight here," concluded Prabowo.
