NasDem Says Active Police Assignments Outside Institutions Will Be Regulated in the Polri Bill

So far, it is already in the Prolegnas, and one of the points is the revision of the Polri Law, and we certainly hope to return it to the DPR leadership and commission leadership so that we can discuss the revision of the Polri Law together later,” said Rudianto when contacted on Wednesday (6/5/2026). Lallo said that Commission III of the DPR is currently still discussing the Asset Forfeiture Bill. Nevertheless, he emphasised that the revision of the Polri Law is also a priority for discussion by Commission III of the DPR. “So far, today we are still discussing the Asset Forfeiture Law which is ongoing, the advocate law and others,” said Lallo. “I think that will become our priority to then resolve matters related to the revision of the Polri Law. Because it is already in the Prolegnas, the revision of the Polri Law will certainly be discussed later by Commission III,” he added. He mentioned that the assignment of Polri members to hold positions outside the police will be regulated in the law. He highlighted the pros and cons that arose after Constitutional Court Decision Number 114/PUU-XXIII/2025 dated 13 November 2025 and Constitutional Court Decision Number 223/PUU-XXII/2025 dated 19 January 2026 regarding Polri positions outside. “Of course, that becomes input for us in the DPR to follow up by incorporating it into the revision of the Polri Law. Where are the boundaries, where can active Polri members enter ministries, other civilian institutions, right,” said Lallo. He said the case would be similar to the TNI Law, namely there is a list of scopes that can be occupied by active police. He wants the regulation in that law to be accommodated so that there are no more debates outside. “The TNI Law includes in the TNI law norms where the TNI can enter. We also want that to be regulated in the law, not through other regulations but must be through the law so that there are no more, eliminating debates on whether this is constitutional or not constitutional,” he said. Previously, the Commission for Accelerating Police Reform had submitted recommendations regarding police reform to President Prabowo Subianto. The final result contains 6 recommendations, from affirming the position of Polri remaining under the president to the assignment of Polri members outside the police. “We reported earlier as many as 10 books, namely covering the entire policy reform, policy alternatives to be implemented by the government or by Polri internally,” said Jimly after submitting those recommendations to Prabowo at Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, on Tuesday (5/5/2026).
