Boni Hargens: Precise and Safe Free Homecoming, Embodiment of Polri Transformation

Jakarta, VIVA – Senior political analyst Boni Hargens has stated that Polri, under the command of Chief of Police Listyo Sigit Prabowo, has made a significant contribution to the success of this year’s Eid al-Fitr celebrations through the Precise Polri Free Homecoming 2026 programme.

According to Boni, the programme is not merely a ceremonial initiative but a concrete embodiment of Polri’s paradigm shift in its relationship with the public and a real manifestation of Polri’s transformation, from a power paradigm to a service paradigm.

“The Precise Polri Free Homecoming 2026 programme is a clear reflection of the transformation of the face of the Indonesian police institution under the leadership of Chief of Police General Listyo Sigit Prabowo. A fundamental institutional cultural transformation, from a power approach to a servant approach, is now being felt directly by the wider public,” Boni Hargens told reporters on Monday, 23 March 2026.

Boni said that by providing the free homecoming programme, Polri is actively alleviating the burden on the public while ensuring that journeys proceed safely and orderly. According to him, the total dedication of Polri personnel in this moment is beyond doubt.

“The security of the homecoming and return flow is carried out comprehensively, from traffic management at critical points, journey escort, to providing information services for travellers. This dedication reflects the spirit of the corps that has fundamentally changed in interpreting duties and responsibilities to the nation,” he said.

Boni stated that the transformation carried out by Polri under the leadership of Chief of Police Listyo Sigit Prabowo is not merely cosmetic changes or uniform replacements.

Boni assessed that Chief of Police General Listyo Sigit Prabowo deserves sincere appreciation for his success in realising the PRESISI slogan in the appropriate situation and context.

According to him, effective leadership is not only about having a good vision, but about the ability to translate that vision into real actions that directly impact people’s lives.

“The Precise Polri Free Homecoming 2026 programme is one of the most concrete proofs of the success of this leadership. By integrating direct public services into security functions, the Chief of Police has successfully shown that modern policing can simultaneously maintain order and provide real benefits to the people it serves,” said Boni.
