Deputy Chief of Police Urges Brimob Units to Uphold the Principle of 'Serving, Not Confronting'
In Depok, VIVA – Deputy Chief of Police Commissioner General Dedi Prasetyo has encouraged the Indonesian National Police’s Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) to continuously improve their capabilities, professionalism, and modernisation to prepare for increasingly complex new challenges.
This was stated during the Brimob Corps National Work Meeting for Fiscal Year 2026, held on Thursday, 23 April 2026, at the Satya Haprabu Building, Brimob Headquarters, Kelapa Dua, Depok, in the presence of Brimob Corps Chief Commissioner General Pol Ramdani Hidayat, Deputy Brimob Corps Chief Inspector General Pol Reza Arief Dewanto, as well as all main Brimob officials and Brimob Commanders across Indonesia.
In his directives, the Deputy Chief of Police expressed the highest appreciation for the dedication and professionalism of the Brimob Corps throughout 2025. Various proud achievements were accomplished, including the successful implementation of the Damai Cartenz Operation, accomplishments at the international World Police & Fire Games, and the Kompolnas Award as the best Police Headquarters Unit. These achievements demonstrate that Brimob possesses increasingly strong capacity and is capable of competing at the global level.
The Deputy Chief of Police emphasised that future challenges are becoming more complex, including the emergence of hybrid security threats that combine physical disruptions, digital provocations, and disinformation. Therefore, enhancing personnel capabilities, strengthening systems, and adaptive strategies are the main keys in addressing these dynamics.
In the context of public service, the Deputy Chief of Police stressed the importance of a paradigm shift through the principle of “Serving, Not Confronting”. Brimob is expected to be present as protectors and guardians who ensure security, while also providing a sense of reassuring safety for the community.
Additionally, the Deputy Chief of Police encouraged strengthening research-based task implementation by leveraging the academic ecosystem through the establishment of a Police Studies Centre to enhance analytical capabilities against asymmetric security threats.
In line with that, accelerating the adaptation of modern technology is a primary focus, including the utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI), drone surveillance, and body-worn cameras, to increase transparency, accountability, and minimise procedural errors in field operations.
The Deputy Chief of Police also reminded the importance of readiness in facing potential disasters, particularly prolonged dry seasons that could increase hotspots of forest and land fires. For this reason, the readiness of SAR equipment and personnel must always be in operational condition to provide quick and accurate responses in protecting the community.
