The Riau Regional Police have begun implementing adjustments to the\nworking patterns for all personnel through a Work From Home (WFH) and\nWork From Office (WFO) scheme every Wednesday. This policy follows\ndirectives from the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo,\nin supporting the national policy on energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
The Head of the Human Resources Bureau of Polda Riau, Senior\nCommissioner Boy Jeckson Situmorang, explained that in its\nimplementation, the work composition is set with a proportion of\ntwo-thirds of personnel carrying out duties from home, while the\nremaining one-third continue to serve in the office.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis scheme is designed to maintain a balance between operational\nefficiency and the continuity of police duties in the field,\u201d explained\nSenior Commissioner Boy on Wednesday (22\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
He emphasised that the implementation of this work scheme is an\nadaptive step in addressing energy efficiency challenges, without\nsacrificing institutional performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a strategic step to support energy savings, including fuel\nconsumption. However, the most important thing is that public services\nremain the top priority. Therefore, personnel on office duty are focused\non public service functions,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
No Disruption to Public Services<\/p>\n
Boy stressed that the policy does not apply to work units directly\ninvolved in public services. His side ensures that service functions\ncontinue to operate normally to guarantee that the presence of the\nIndonesian National Police (Polri) is still felt by the public without\nany decline in service quality.<\/p>\n
As an illustration, in a work unit with 90 personnel, 60 personnel\nwill carry out WFH and 30 personnel will perform duties directly in the\noffice.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll work units are required to report this division as part of the\ninternal control mechanism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the implementation of WFH in the Polda Riau environment\nis selective and does not affect field operational functions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Work From Home system implemented by Polda Riau only targets\nstaff and administrative functions in the office environment, thus not\nreducing the personnel strength in the field at all,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Operational activities such as patrols, guarding, SPKT services,\ntraffic management, and rapid response 110 continue to run 24 hours as\nusual. He assured that operational officers continue to carry out their\nwork as normal in the midst of society.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis policy is actually to ensure that internal services are more\nefficient, while the guarantee of public security and order remains the\ntop priority that is never neglected,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Internal Supervision<\/p>\n
He also emphasised that all work unit leaders have full\nresponsibility for supervising the performance of personnel, whether\nworking from home or from the office.<\/p>\n
This supervision is carried out in a tiered and integrated manner,\nreferring to the National Police Chief\u2019s Regulation Number 2 of 2022 on\npersonnel supervision and control.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe emphasise the importance of optimal control and supervision from\nevery leader. Work pattern flexibility must not reduce discipline and\nperformance quality,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/riau-police-support-energy-efficiency-flexible-work-scheme-without-disrupting-public-services-1776851561", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
