Prabowo Urges Law Enforcement Agencies to Reform and Avoid Supporting Illegal Activities

Let us work together, but all other law enforcement agencies must improve. The Prosecutor’s Office, the Police, the Military, must undertake self-correction, must eliminate irregularities and corruption from within each of their respective bodies,” Prabowo said during the inauguration of the Marinah Museum and a rest house in Nganjuk, East Java, Saturday (16/5/2026).

Prabowo again emphasized the need for law enforcement agencies to be willing to correct themselves. Prabowo warned that law enforcement agencies should not become backers of smuggling, drug trafficking, or gambling.

“I repeat, all law enforcement agencies must improve themselves, must cleanse themselves, must be willing to correct themselves. It must not be the case that law enforcement agencies are behind irregularities, that they support irregularities, that they support smuggling, drug trafficking, gambling, and so on. Let’s not let that happen, brothers and sisters,” he said.

Prabowo advised that the Police and the TNI should be role models loved by the people. According to Prabowo, this is what the leaders of the TNI and the Police have exemplified.

“I appeal, on behalf of the people, to be the people’s army, to be the people’s police who are loved by the people, and this has been pioneered by the leaders of the TNI and the Police,” he said.
