        "summary": "The Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) and the government have agreed to focus on 20 specific points of contention regarding the revision of the National Police Law. The discussions will include substantive changes and new proposals, including controversial measures such as the extension of retirement ages for police officers.",
        "content": "<p>Deputy Minister of Law Eddy Hiariej has revealed that the House of\nRepresentatives (DPR) and the government have agreed on a list of 20\nitems for discussion within the revision of Law Number 2 of 2002\nconcerning the Indonesian National Police. This decision was reached\nduring a meeting of the Police Law Revision Working Committee at the\nParliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday, 4 January 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Eddy explained that from the initial draft proposed by the DPR, the\ngovernment had prepared 112 items for discussion (DIM). This total\ncomprised 32 fixed DIMs, 36 editorial DIMs, 12 substantive DIMs, and 8\nnew substantive proposals. He clarified that only 20 items\u2014the 12\nsubstantive DIMs and 8 new proposals\u2014will be actively debated in future\nsessions. \u201cIf it is a fixed DIM, it means the government agrees with the\nDPR\u2019s proposal, so it will not be discussed,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Minister declined to disclose the specific details of the\nnew substantive proposals or comment on the proposal to extend the\nretirement age for police officers. He noted that these matters are\nscheduled for discussion in the following week\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The revision of the Police Law is included in the National\nLegislative Program (Prolegnas) Priority list for 2026. Proposed by\nCommission III of the DPR, the revision is being processed alongside the\nnewly passed Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) and the Asset Forfeiture\nBill.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most notable changes in the proposed revision is the\nextension of the retirement age. It is proposed that the retirement age\nfor non-commissioned officers (Bintara and Tamtama) be increased to 58,\nwith the possibility of an extension to 60. Meanwhile, the retirement\nage for commissioned officers (Perwira) would rise to 60, with an\nextension up to 62 for those possessing specialised expertise.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of Commission III, Habiburokhman, previously argued that\nthe idea to extend the retirement age follows the adjustments made to\nthe Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and prosecutors. \u201cIt is being\naligned with the Attorney General\u2019s Office and the TNI. The regulations\nwill be roughly similar,\u201d Habiburokhman said at the DPR Complex,\nJakarta.<\/p>",
