Police Chief Orders Force-Wide Urine Tests Following Senior Officer's Drug Case
National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has ordered the Professional and Security Division (Propam) to conduct urine tests on all members of the police force.
The order was issued in the wake of a drug trafficking case involving former Bima City Police Chief AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro.
“Based on the Police Chief’s orders, the Propam Division and its ranks will carry out urine testing,” said National Police Public Relations Bureau Chief Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko to reporters on Friday (20 February).
Trunoyudo said the urine tests would be conducted simultaneously at all levels, both at National Police Headquarters and across regional police commands.
He described the initiative as a demonstration of the police force’s commitment to supporting President Prabowo Subianto’s Asta Cita programme on drug enforcement and eradication.
Trunoyudo added that the urine testing would involve oversight from both internal and external supervisory bodies.
“On the instruction of the Police Chief to the Head of Propam Division, we wish to convey that this represents a commitment, a consistent stance against every reprehensible act,” he said.
Previously, the Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) designated former Bima City Police Chief AKBP Didik Putra as a suspect in drug abuse.
Didik was found guilty of possessing a white suitcase containing narcotics that had been entrusted to First Police Officer Dianita in Tangerang, Banten.
The drug evidence recovered comprised 16.3 grammes of methamphetamine, 49 ecstasy tablets and 2 partially consumed tablets (23.5 grammes), 19 Alprazolam tablets, 2 Happy Five tablets, and 5 grammes of ketamine.
Didik also tested positive for drug consumption based on hair follicle drug test results conducted in a laboratory.
In addition to this case, Didik was designated as a suspect for receiving proceeds from drug-related criminal activity by the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police on Monday (16 February).
Didik is alleged to have received Rp2.8 billion in drug money from a dealer known as Koh Erwin, channelled through his subordinate AKP Malaungi, who served as Head of the Narcotics Unit at Bima City Police. The funds were received by Didik during the period from June to November 2025.
Didik has since been subject to dishonourable discharge from the police force and is currently detained at the Criminal Investigation Agency’s detention facility.
