Kompolnas Considers Ethics Hearing for Former Bima City Police Chief a Positive Step by the Police
The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) attended the Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) hearing for former Bima City police chief AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro. Kompolnas assessed the ethics hearing as a positive step by the National Police.
“We were also invited to oversee the hearing,” said Kompolnas Commissioner Choirup Anam to reporters at the TNCC Building, National Police Headquarters, South Jakarta, on Thursday (19 February 2026).
Anam expressed hope that the hearing process would proceed in line with the police’s commitment to handle the case transparently. He noted that the criminal proceedings in the case are also currently underway at the Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) of the National Police.
“We hope this hearing is consistent with the police’s commitment that nothing in this case is being concealed. Indeed, the criminal mechanism is also running simultaneously, and a suspect designation has already been made,” he said.
According to Anam, the National Police’s decision to hold an ethics hearing against Didik is a commendable step. He also urged the police to dismantle the network involved in the narcotics abuse case.
“This is a positive step, and most importantly in the context of narcotics, hopefully during this hearing the character, testimony, and other aspects of the drug network can be examined,” Anam said.
“Because fighting narcotics means fighting networks. It is impossible for narcotics to be marketed on a massive scale or used on a massive scale — given the strict prohibitions — without a network in place,” he added.
Regarding the ethics hearing, Anam assessed that the potential for a dishonourable discharge (PTDH) sanction against Didik is very high.
“Looking at the pattern of the case and its characteristics, the potential for dishonourable discharge is very significant. But we shall have to see,” he said.
Anam noted that narcotics eradication is a priority programme of the President. He therefore expressed hope that through this momentum, the National Police could demonstrate its professionalism in handling cases.
“Once again, we remind our colleagues in the police force, and this is our shared commitment. This has also been demonstrated by police colleagues through very commendable steps — namely that narcotics are a presidential priority programme and a concern of the entire public,” Anam continued.
“Therefore, at this very opportune moment, show that the police are still performing to the maximum and can work professionally to combat narcotics, and we are confident of that,” he added.
