Haiti's Badrodin Policy: The National Police Chief Who Instructs Drug Users Doesn't Need To Be Imprisoned

JAKARTA - Drug cases are at an alarming stage in Indonesia. Drug dealers and users are prisoners who fill half of the prisons in the archipelago. This condition made Badrodin Haiti move. The 2015-2016 National Police Chief published a secret telegram.

He asked his staff not to detain drug users. He emphasized to his staff to place drug users in the rehabilitation center. However, Badarodin's secret telegram became a polemic and became the way the police played cheating.

Efforts by the security forces to eradicate drugs like war that never ends. The National Police may arrest many dealers and users. However, those who distribute drugs continue to grow. His business is growing rapidly. As a result, the nation's future generation became a victim.

The death rate is due to piled up drugs. This condition makes the government need new ways to prevent drug trafficking. Badrodin Haiti also realized it. The National Police Chief considers drug matters not to be lost with the death penalty.

The National Police can't just stand still. Badrodin continued to order his staff to take action against airports, dealers, and users. This effort continues to be made to create an environment free from drug trafficking.

Badrodin has recently realized new facts. Those who are detained for drugs continue to increase every year. The police are actively arresting tens of thousands of drug suspects dealers, dealers, and users. This condition makes half of the prisons in Indonesia filled with drug prisoners. Prisons in Indonesia are threatened with flooding.

Badrodin tried to think about promoting preventive measures, from the family environment to school. The move is considered to reduce a person away from drugs. People then stay away from drugs and immediately switch to a healthy lifestyle.

Another step, the National Police continues to take action against those caught using and distributing drugs. Both are considered important studies to break the chain of drug trafficking in the archipelago.

"Drugs cannot be resolved with the death penalty. It's not finished just with seminars, by the police, and BNN (National Narcotics Agency). As the head of the family, I prevented myself and my family from drugs. If everything is done like this, after drugs, even though those who were arrested, confiscated methamphetamine, heroin marijuana, only at most 10 percent could be confiscated. There were a lot of things that could not be confiscated," said Badarodin Haiti as quoted by Pandompas.com, July 3, 2015.

Drug problems and problems continue to interfere with Badrodin's thoughts. He realized that prison spaces in the archipelago could not always accommodate drug prisoners. This condition if allowed to continue to be a time bomb. Prison assets can exceed the capacity limit.

Badrodin took a stand. He published a secret telegram on October 26, 2015. It contained him ordering the police not to impose a prison sentence for drug users. He assessed drug users need rehabilitation rather than imprisonment.

The instruction was leaked to the public. However, Badrodin did not care. He continued to ask for his instructions to be obeyed as long as drug users did not have a track record of crime. Badrodin also admitted that there was fear from the public.

On average, they are afraid that the contents of Badrodin's telegram will be used for personal gain. Take, for example, Badrodin's telegram is actually used by naughty police officers to earn illicit money. They like sell the right of drug users to get rehabilitation.

Badrodin tried to believe the Indonesian people that everything could be monitored. However, not everyone heeds Badrodin's telegram. Metro Jaya Police Chief, Tito Karnavian, for example. He will basically follow Badrodin's policy with certain conditions.

He emphasized that drug users are not in prison as long as there is not much evidence brought. The police must also ensure that drug users enter the category of dealers or users only. Because, Tito usually considers users to act as dealers.

The debates continue to flow. As a result, drug users can never really be safe from imprisonment. Moreover, in its implementation those who receive rehabilitation punishment are only certain and there are indications that the officers are involved in the prison or rehabilitation decision.

"Yes, there is a secret telegram like that. We will try to follow it, but there are several requirements, including having to be below a few grams, secondly no evidence was found to the person concerned. If there is sufficient evidence even though he claims to be a user, he will still be detained."

"Assesmenini yang mempercaya bahwa betul-betul yang bersangkutan adalah pengguna bukan penyedaraan. Namun, yang perlu diwaspadai adalah kebijakan ini jangan sampai disalah oleh penyidik. Nanti kongkalingkong dengan penggara dalam BAP (Berita Aceksa Pemeriksaan), mengatakan bahwa dia adalah pengguna. Saya nggak tahu tepat tepat (center rehabilitasi), yang tahu BNN dan Mabes Polri. Kalau kita di Jakarta, rehabilitasi ada beberapa tempat di sini. Ya semakin baik," ujar Tito sebagaimana dikutip laman beritasatu.com, 23 November 2015.
