Metro Police Chief Urges Brimob Officers to Be Humanitarian Police, Not to Harm Citizens
The Metropolitan Police Chief (Kapolda Metro Jaya), Inspector General Asep Edi Suheri, issued guidance to 1,000 junior officers and constables who had completed their Basic Brimob Education for the 2026 fiscal year. In his remarks, the Police Chief urged them to become officers who provide a sense of security rather than instilling fear.
Opening his address, Inspector General Asep Edi Suheri emphasised that Brimob is an elite unit characterised by unwavering loyalty to its institution.
“I want to emphasise the defining characteristic of a Brimob officer. Possessing steadfast loyalty. Loyal to the nation, loyal to the institution, loyal to the leadership, and loyal to duty. Loyalty is not merely spoken but demonstrated through discipline, readiness to execute orders, and courage to stand on the front line when the nation calls,” said Inspector General Asep in his remarks on Friday (13 March).
Inspector General Asep stated that Brimob is a corps built on dedication and sacrifice. Therefore, Brimob exists to meet challenges, not to avoid them.
“Comrades whom I love and am proud of, there are several points you must remember and implement. First, be a police officer who serves the community. Your presence must provide security, assistance, and protection,” he explained.
“Be a Brimob unit whose presence brings peace, not fear. Be a Brimob unit that is humanitarian yet firm,” he added.
He also urged personnel not to hurt the public’s feelings with harsh language, arrogant attitudes, or actions that offend the sense of justice.
“Remember, the power you possess must be used to protect, not to harm,” he said.
Inspector General Asep stated that all police personnel must be firm whilst maintaining consideration for humanity and responsibility. He also emphasised the importance of continually developing personal capabilities, strengthening physical and mental fitness, and honing skills in executing the Police’s core duties.
“The Brimob unit must not be weak, must not be negligent, and must not be easily satisfied,” he remarked.
Furthermore, he requested that Brimob personnel maintain unit cohesion and corps spirit. Personnel must strengthen one another, look after each other, and remind each other. A strong corps is born from solidarity, not individual egos.
“To all the Junior Officers and Constables of the Young Brimob whom I love and am proud of, I want you to instil in your hearts the pride that you are part of the Brimob Corps of the National Police, a corps known as tough, courageous, disciplined, and loyal,” he said.
Before concluding his remarks, the Police Chief expressed his hope that Brimob junior officers would become personnel who are tough, courageous, loyal, and ready to serve the nation and state.
“Once you take a step, there is no turning back; once you appear, you must succeed. My soul and body for humanity, Brimob for nation and state,” he concluded.
The assembly was held at the Precision Stadium of the Metro Jaya Police Headquarters on Friday (13 March). The 1,000 young Brimob personnel consisted of 547 Young Junior Officers and 453 Young Constables. Inspector General Asep stated that this number represents new strength within the Brimob Corps.
The assembly was also attended by the Deputy Police Chief of Metro Jaya Brigadier General Dekananto Eko Purwobo, the Brimob Commander of Metro Jaya Police Headquarters Colonel Henik Maryanto, the principal officials of Metro Jaya Police Headquarters, and various precinct commanders.
