Police Take Firm Action Against Former Bima City Police Chief, Involved Personnel to Face Consequences
Jakarta - Former Bima City Police Chief AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro is scheduled to face an ethics tribunal this week. National Police Headquarters has committed to taking firm and impartial action, including investigating other personnel involved.
"The Police Professional Code of Ethics tribunal (KEPP) for AKBP DPK is planned for Thursday, 19 February 2026," said National Police Public Relations Division Head Inspector General Johnny Eddizon Isir at a press conference on Sunday (15/2/2026).
The hearing will be held at the Professional Accountability Bureau (Wabprof) hearing room of the Police Professional Security Division (Propam), TNCC Building, South Jakarta. AKBP Didik, who has been named a suspect, is currently undergoing Special Placement (Patsus) by the Professional Security Division to facilitate the investigation.
National Police Headquarters emphasised that this legal process constitutes concrete proof that the institution is serious about conducting internal cleansing. The police assured they would act firmly and impartially, including against their own members found to have tarnished the institution's reputation.
"The Police leadership has been firm and guarantees there will be no impunity for police personnel involved in narcotics networks. We are in fact applying stricter investigation standards to safeguard the institution's dignity," he stressed.
This measure was also described as a demonstration of the police's commitment to supporting the government's vision of eradicating narcotics as an extraordinary crime.
**Facing Dismissal and Life Imprisonment**
Beyond the administrative sanction of Dishonourable Discharge (PTDH) through the ethics tribunal, AKBP Didik also faces extremely severe criminal penalties. Based on evidence found at his private residence, including methamphetamine, ecstasy, and psychotropic substances, he has been charged under Law Number 5 of 1997 on Psychotropic Substances as well as narcotics legislation.
"The criminal penalties facing the individual concerned are life imprisonment or a maximum prison sentence of 20 years," he explained.
The case is a development from the arrest of former Head of the Bima City Police Narcotics Unit, AKP Malaungi. A joint team from the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) and the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police (Polda NTB) continues to hunt a major dealer with the initial E, suspected of being the primary supplier in the network.
The police have also formed a joint team comprising the Bareskrim Narcotics Directorate and the NTB Regional Police Narcotics Directorate to investigate the wider network, including pursuing the dealer identified as E. Based on preliminary investigations, the network's involvement is estimated to have been ongoing since August 2025.
"If further personnel are found to have been involved in supporting these illegal activities, we will pursue legal and ethical proceedings without exception. This is a manifestation of the police's commitment in the war against narcotics that threaten the nation's future generations," Inspector General Isir affirmed.
