Deputy Chief of Police Komjen Dedi Prasetyo has affirmed the\nstrengthening of the Police Science Study Centre as a strategic\nfoundation to address societal dynamics and modern security threats.\nKomjen Dedi assessed that police duties are becoming increasingly\ncomplex, along with cross-border crimes and technology-based\noffences.<\/p>\n
Komjen Dedi noted that developments in the global security landscape\nindicate that crimes are no longer conventional. This former Head of the\nPolri Public Relations Division stated that crimes have evolved into\nmultidimensional phenomena, including cybercrime, digital fraud, and\ncross-country organised networks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Police Science Study Centre is Polri\u2019s intellectual\ninfrastructure in reading the future. Today\u2019s crimes cannot be addressed\nwith old approaches. We need policies based on research, data, and\nmultidimensional analysis so that Polri remains relevant, effective, and\ntrusted by the public,\u201d said Komjen Dedi in his statement from the\nPolice Study Centre at STIK-PTIK Lemdiklat Polri on Sunday\n(19\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Komjen Dedi encouraged Lemdiklat Polri to continue developing a\npolice research ecosystem based on collaboration with the academic\nworld. This research ecosystem, he said, is part of the institutional\ntransformation towards an adaptive and knowledge-based institution.<\/p>\n
\u201cResearch is the foundation of Polri\u2019s transformation. Through the\nstudy centre, we build evidence-based policing capable of addressing\nmodern crime challenges, from cyber threats and transnational crimes to\nhybrid public order and security disruptions,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a long-term investment to ensure Polri is always one step\nahead of criminals,\u201d added Komjen Dedi.<\/p>\n
This former Central Kalimantan Police Chief emphasised that\nstrengthening the study centre is part of Polri\u2019s grand transformation\nstrategy. Polri positions science as the main basis for\npolicy-making.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe study centre must become a space for integration between law,\ntechnology, social sciences, and geopolitics. Thus, every police policy\nis not only operationally precise but also academically strong and\naccountable to the public,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n
This former Assistant to the Chief of Police for Human Resources\nexplained in more depth the important role of the study centre, which\nincludes developing evidence-based policing based on data and scientific\nresearch, building predictive models of crime patterns, examining\nasymmetric and hybrid threats, and integrating geopolitical and\ngeo-economic analyses into security strategies. \u201cWith Indonesia\u2019s\nstrategic position in the Indo-Pacific region and the acceleration of\nnational digitalisation, the existence of the police science study\ncentre becomes increasingly crucial in maintaining public order and\nsecurity stability and protecting the public from various forms of\nmodern crime,\u201d said Komjen Dedi.<\/p>\n
It is recorded that Polri has signed 77 Memorandums of Understanding\n(MoUs) with leading universities across Indonesia, 25 universities have\nCooperation Agreements (PKS) and have launched Police Study Centres, and\n16 Police Study Centres with scientific specialisations have been\nestablished at STIK-PTIK Lemdiklat Polri.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/deputy-chief-of-police-addresses-urgency-of-police-science-study-centre-outlines-multidimensional-threats-1776671464", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
