The Regional Office (Kanwil) of the Directorate General of\nImmigration for West Papua is expanding its public education programme\nthrough the implementation of the \u2018Imigrasi Menyapa Pelajar dan\nMahasiswa\u2019 (Impresi) strategy to prevent transnational criminal\npractices.<\/p>\n
Speaking in Manokwari on Monday, the Head of the West Papua\nImmigration Regional Office, Asrul, said the optimisation of the Impresi\ntransformation strategy involves the Institute of Law and Development\nTechnology (IHTP) Papua and the Manokwari Education Office.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe signing of this cooperation with IHTP Papua and the Manokwari\nEducation Office is part of efforts to strengthen the implementation of\nImpresi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The implementation of the Impresi strategy, involving the role of\nlocal government and higher education institutions, is considered more\neffective in improving the quality of public services in the legal\nfield, as Immigration is not solely oriented towards law\nenforcement.<\/p>\n
\u201cTransnational crime includes offences such as people trafficking\n(TPPO), with its various forms of exploitation and methods,\u201d Asrul\nsaid.<\/p>\n
The cooperation will not only strengthen the standing of higher\neducation institutions but will also enrich the legal knowledge of\nstudents in advocating on various issues, particularly those related to\nimmigration violations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not only about transnational crime, which may be rare in West\nPapua, but also about how universities take part in monitoring the\nmovement of foreigners,\u201d said Filep.<\/p>\n
According to Filep, the learning approach adopted by IHTP Papua\nfocuses not only on academic theory but also on building networks by\nexpanding collaboration across stakeholders and ministries and agencies\nin the region.<\/p>\n
The Immigration Regional Office became the first ministry or agency\nin West Papua to sign an educational cooperation agreement with IHTP\nPapua after it officially changed status from the Manokwari College of\nLaw (STIH).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe land of Papua is very vast, making it prone to cross-border\ncrime. Therefore, optimal joint oversight is necessary,\u201d said Filep, who\nalso serves as Chair of Committee III of the Regional Representative\nCouncil (DPD RI).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-papua-immigration-expands-educational-programme-to-prevent-transnational-crime-1784534132", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
