South Jakarta Police Conduct Surprise Urine Tests Following Former Bima Police Chief's Drug Case
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The South Jakarta Police conducted surprise urine tests on all its personnel on Monday, February 23rd, 2026.
The Head of the Narcotics Unit of the South Jakarta Police, AKBP Prasetyo Noegroho, said that the results of the examination showed that all members of the South Jakarta Police tested negative for narcotics.
“Thank God (the results) are all negative,” said Prasetyo when contacted on Wednesday, February 25th, 2026.
He emphasized that the activity aims to ensure that no police officers are involved in drug abuse as law enforcement officers.
“Before we take action against members of the public who abuse drugs, we must first ensure that our own bodies, our internal affairs, are free from these illicit substances,” Prasetyo said.
Meanwhile, the Head of Public Relations of the South Jakarta Police, AKBP Murodih, said that apart from the order from the National Police Chief, the examination is a routine agenda carried out incidentally or on short notice.
“This activity is a routine agenda carried out incidentally as a function of internal control and supervision of members,” he said.
He added that if in subsequent examinations it is found that any members are consuming drugs, they will take further action in accordance with applicable legal procedures.
It is known that Didik has been named a suspect after being caught with a suitcase full of drugs for personal use.
The urine test for all police officers is an order from the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.
“Based on the order of the National Police Chief, the National Police’s Internal Affairs Division (Divpropam) and its ranks will carry out urine examination activities,” said the Head of the Public Information Bureau (Karo Penmas) of the National Police’s Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Pol Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, after the hearing of the National Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) against Didik, at the TNCC Building of the National Police Headquarters, South Jakarta, Thursday, February 19th, 2026.
“Once again, we will carry out urine examination activities which we will carry out throughout the territory or ranks of the Indonesian National Police simultaneously,” he continued.
The urine test will involve internal and external supervision functions, both at the National Police Headquarters and at the regional level.
“The prevalence of drug cases involving several members has had an impact on the suboptimal handling and eradication of drugs as a program of the President of the Republic of Indonesia,” said Trunoyudo.
