Deputy National Police Chief Inaugurates 1,848 New Officers, Majority to Serve in Regional Police Commands
A total of 1,848 Indonesian National Police officers were officially inaugurated during the Closing Ceremony of Education and Inauguration of Police Inspector School (SIP) 55th Batch and SIP Special Intelligence 11th Batch for the 202long fiscal year. The inauguration was led by Deputy National Police Chief, Commissioner General Pol Dedi Prasetyo, at the Soetadi Ronodipuro Field, Setukpa Lemdiklat Polri, Sukabumi, on Thursday (4/6/2026).
The number of inaugurated officers consists of 1,798 graduates from the 55th SIP Batch and 50 graduates from the 11th SIP Special Intelligence Batch. The Deputy National Police Chief revealed that almost 90 per cent of the new officers will be deployed to regional police commands (Polda) and local police stations (Polres) to fill significant vacancies in regional-level officer positions.
According to the Deputy Chief, the majority of these new officers will strengthen the Samapta (patrol) functions and police services, which serve as the frontline of interaction with the public. They are expected to possess quick-response capabilities, maintain integrity, and prioritise a humanistic approach in all services.
The Deputy National Police Chief emphasised that the Integrated Police Service Centre (SPKT), the 110 Hotline, the Command Centre, and the Samapta function represent the face of the National Police, directly shaping public perception of the institution.
“The image of the National Police is built through interactions at the SPKT, the 110 service, and other police services. Therefore, public service must be the primary focus for all members of the National Police, especially the newly inaugurated officers,” he stated.
As part of institutional improvement efforts, the National Police continue to strengthen the quick-response service ecosystem by optimising the 110 Hotline, strengthening Command Centres, improving the quality of SPKT services, and reinforcing the Pamapta function as the frontline of community service.
The Deputy Chief explained that the quality of public service is the foundation of the National Police organisation, which will continue to be improved through the use of information technology and the enhancement of human resource quality.
“Fast, easy, transparent, and humanistic service must become the new standard for policing across all regions,” he said.
He reminded that the public still holds high expectations for the National Police, particularly regarding the speed of responding to reports, the quality of public services, justice in law enforcement, and the strengthening of supervision. Consequently, the presence of these new officers is expected to bolster the transformation of police services down to the Polres and Polsek levels, ensuring the benefits are felt directly by the community.
