Indonesian National Police to Implement Curriculum Based on Human Rights, AI, and Big Data in 2027

Deputy Chief of the Indonesian National Police, Commissioner General Dedi Prasetyo, has affirmed the force’s commitment to accelerating educational transformation as a foundation for building superior, professional, adaptive, and high-integrity human resources. He made the statement after attending three strategic agendas at the Police Academy (Akpol) in Semarang: the Analysis and Evaluation of Education and Training for the First Semester of 2026, the inauguration of the Akpol Thematic Class, and the inauguration of the Police Social Science Laboratory. According to Dedi, the first-semester analysis and evaluation is a crucial momentum for designing a new police education system to be implemented starting in 2027. ‘The entire police education curriculum is being redesigned to align with the mandate of Law Number 5 of 2026 and police reform recommendations. Future police education must be increasingly based on human rights, strengthen competence and professionalism, and answer the challenges of the times,’ Dedi said. The reform covers all levels of education, from initial formation training to first, middle, and high-level development programmes. The new curriculum will also be applied to various formation programmes, including Police NCOs, Integrated Police Service Centre NCOs, Mobile Brigade, Water Police, and Intelligence. Additionally, Dedi inaugurated the Akpol Thematic Class as a learning innovation that presents representations of the main police functions. In the future, the concept will be expanded so that all regional police forces have thematic classes showcasing regional characteristics, local wisdom, and the use of big data as a learning medium for cadets. ‘We are preparing cadets as first-line supervisors and future leaders of the Indonesian National Police. As the majority are from Generation Z and Generation Alpha, the learning process must be close to digitalisation, data-based decision-making, artificial intelligence-based analysis, and comprehensive and holistic thinking skills,’ he explained. On the same occasion, Dedi also inaugurated the Police Social Science Laboratory, which is one of the most modern police laboratories in the Asian region. The laboratory was developed utilising digital technology, big data, and artificial intelligence to support research-based learning and decision-making that is scientifically and legally accountable. According to Dedi, the laboratory’s existence will become a centre for the development of police social analysis while strengthening a culture of evidence-based policing.
