        "content": "<p>Advocate and Gerakan Pemuda Ansor cadre Rangga Afianto has obtained a\nDoctorate in Police Science from the Police Science College (STIK)\nLemdiklat Polri with cum laude honours. In his dissertation, Rangga\nexamined the strengthening of the independence and institutional\nexistence of the National Police Commission (Kompolnas) as part of\nefforts to reinforce external oversight of the National Police (Polri).\nThe dissertation, titled Police Oversight &amp; Accountability: A Study\non the Independence and Institutional Existence of Kompolnas,\nhighlighted the importance of strengthening Kompolnas\u2019s role in\npromoting transparency, accountability, and checks and balances\nmechanisms within the police function. Rangga stated that reinforcing\nexternal oversight is a crucial element in supporting sustainable police\nreform in Indonesia. \u2018Strengthening Kompolnas institutionally is\nnecessary to ensure that the external oversight function of Polri\noperates effectively, thereby bolstering accountability, transparency,\nand public trust in the police institution,\u2019 said Rangga Afianto in a\nstatement on Tuesday (9\/6). According to him, the involvement of\ncivilians in the development of Police Science can enrich perspectives\nin policy formulation and the strengthening of security governance in a\ndemocratic country. \u2018Police Science is an open discipline for all\nelements of the nation. The presence of academics and practitioners from\ncivilian backgrounds is expected to contribute to research-based policy\ndevelopment and strengthen constructive relations between the police and\nthe community,\u2019 he stated. The doctoral promotion hearing that Rangga\nunderwent featured several national figures as examiners, including Dedi\nPrasetyo, Otto Hasibuan, and Bambang Soesatyo. This achievement adds to\nthe number of academics from civilian backgrounds pursuing education up\nto the doctoral level in the field of Police Science. The presence of\npolice experts with civilian backgrounds is considered capable of\nsupporting the development of more accountable security and law\nenforcement policies, while simultaneously strengthening the space for\ndialogue between the police institution and the community. Rangga\u2019s\ngraduation also reinforces the role of STIK Lemdiklat Polri as a higher\neducation institution that develops Police Science studies and produces\nthinkers and researchers who contribute to strengthening the national\nsecurity and law enforcement system.<\/p>",
