Pandeglang Police Station officer Aipda Agung Ginanjar has played a major role behind the station’s innovative programmes. He conceived and implemented both the Traffic Education Park and the SKCK (police clearance certificate) Delivery service at Pandeglang Police Station.

For his ideas and actions, Aipda Agung has been nominated as a candidate for the Hoegeng Awards 2026 by Zahrotul Janah, a kindergarten headteacher in Pandeglang. She had previously brought her pupils to visit the Traffic Education Park at Pandeglang Police Station.

“At our school, we have a programme of thematic activities where we select themes requiring children to learn outside the classroom — outdoor classes. One of these is the theme of occupations and professions, and we took the initiative to visit the police. It introduces children to how the police work,” Zahro told detikcom on Monday (9 February 2026).

She said that over the past two years, her school had conducted visits to the Traffic Education Park at Pandeglang Police Station. According to her, Aipda Agung, as the pioneer and driving force behind the park, carried out his duties exceptionally well.

“The children received outstanding education from Aipda Agung as the pioneer. The reception was very friendly, and the delivery of all material was excellent and easy for children to understand. That is why our collaboration has not been limited to just one year — hopefully it will continue for years to come,” she said.

Beyond being enjoyable for children, the process of arranging visits to the Traffic Education Park is straightforward. Schools wishing to visit need only send a request letter, after which dates are coordinated. Notably, the visits are entirely free of charge.

“It’s completely free — thankfully, not a single rupiah is charged,” said Zahro.

According to Zahro, Aipda Agung and three of his colleagues serve as resource persons at the Traffic Education Park. They regularly educate children about the prohibition of bullying, the dangers of narcotics, and proper traffic conduct.

Zahro expressed gratitude that the collaboration with Pandeglang Police Station greatly assisted in teaching her pupils. “It is truly outstanding — the existence of this education park helps us as teachers in providing real-world learning experiences for the children,” she said.

Nevertheless, she still harbours hopes for the programme’s improvement. She would like to see the facilities and services at the education park enhanced.

“Educating children works best outdoors, but when it rains, activities are limited and must move indoors. Indoor settings are not conducive because children are mostly kinaesthetic learners who want to run around, and indoor spaces are restrictive. If possible, the outdoor activities should be further improved — there should be sheltered areas in the grounds so that even when it rains, activities can still take place outside,” she added.

Aipda Agung Ginanjar’s Explanation

Aipda Agung Ginanjar is a candidate for the Hoegeng Corner 2025. He explained the two programmes he devised as innovations in police services for the community within Pandeglang Police Station’s jurisdiction.

Speaking to detikcom, Aipda Agung recounted how he first conceived the idea for the Traffic Education Park at Pandeglang Police Station. He said both programmes were conceived in 2023.

“The idea emerged because we looked at the location of our police station, and I thought it could be used to create a Traffic Education Park. That meant we would create road markings and install traffic signs,” said Aipda Agung on Friday (3 October 2025).

Aipda Agung’s objective in creating the Traffic Education Park was to impart knowledge and early understanding of traffic discipline to kindergarten and early childhood education pupils. His vision was supported by his superiors and colleagues at Pandeglang Police Station.

“My goal at that time was for us to be able to contribute to the community, particularly children of kindergarten and early childhood age, by providing some education about traffic,” he said.

After receiving approval from his superiors, he enlisted the Bhabinkamtibmas (community policing) officers at Pandeglang Police Station to help realise the programme. He and his colleagues self-funded the facilities needed for the Traffic Education Park within the police station grounds.

“We self-funded to complete what we could regarding the education park facilities, and the Bhabinkamtibmas colleagues also helped socialise the programme in their respective sub-districts, informing them that we have a Traffic Education Park here,” he said.

When it first opened in 2023, many kindergarten and early childhood pupils from numerous schools visited the Traffic Education Park. There were no charges for visiting schools — they simply needed to send a letter to the police station, and Aipda Agung served directly as the guide and presenter.

However, in 2024, operations were temporarily suspended as Pandeglang Police Station focused on security for the simultaneous general elections. The Traffic Education Park resumed activities in mid-2025.

“By mid-year, only two schools had visited because several schools had not yet scheduled visits according to their academic calendars — they will likely come towards the end of the year or early 2026,” he said.

Pandeglang Police Station’s SKCK Delivery Service

After running the Traffic Education Park, Aipda Agung conceived the SKCK Delivery programme at Pandeglang Police Station. The aim was to improve police services for the community within the station’s jurisdiction.

“However, with regard to SKCK, this is limited to our jurisdiction, as Pandeglang Police Station covers two sub-districts. So the SKCK Delivery service can currently only be provided to residents in the Marjasari and Pandeglang sub-districts,” said Aipda Agung.

He said information about the SKCK Delivery programme had been published on various social media platforms. According to Agung, applicants fill in personal details on an online form, upload the required documents, and make payment via QRIS.

“After the applicant fills in the data and uploads their documents, we process the application once payment is made via QRIS. The QRIS code is already displayed on the link, and in accordance with the non-tax state revenue regulation, the fee is Rp 30,000,” he said.

Once the applicant completes the payment process, the SKCK is printed. The SKCK printing operator then checks the applicant’s address and contacts the Bhabinkamtibmas officer in that area to collect the certificate from the police station.

“For example, if the applicant is a resident of Pandeglang Sub-district, we contact the Bhabinkamtibmas officer for Pandeglang Sub-district, Mr Trimoyo, informing him that one of his residents has applied for SKCK delivery and it can be collected from the office. Mr Trimoyo then comes to the SKCK room and delivers the certificate to the applicant’s address — free of any additional charge,” he explained.

Aipda Agung emphasised that there are no additional costs such as delivery fees for utilising the SKCK Delivery service. The cost is solely the Rp 30,000 non-tax state revenue fee.

“The cost is just the Rp 30,000 non-tax state revenue fee, with no delivery charges or any other additional costs,” he stressed.

However, he acknowledged that the convenience of the programme has not yet been widely utilised by the local community. Aipda Agung said that since the programme’s launch, only around 15 residents had used the SKCK Delivery service.

“Perhaps it is due to a lack of awareness, or perhaps people feel reluctant to ask their Bhabinkamtibmas officer directly for help. Yet we have frequently communicated that requirements can be handed to the Bhabinkamtibmas officer, who will bring them to the SKCK operator, and after processing, the officer will deliver the certificate back to the applicant,” said Agung.

“Moreover, our coverage is limited to residents of just two sub-districts, and the number of daily SKCK applicants who come in person to the police station in our area is small — it is not as though we receive hundreds of applicants per day as in major cities. It is indeed still a small number,” he said.

Despite the limited uptake, the innovative programmes at Pandeglang Police Station conceived by Aipda Agung received an award from the National Police Commission (Kompolnas) in 2024. Thanks to the SKCK Delivery service and the Traffic Education Park, Pandeglang Police Station was ranked among the top ten police stations in Indonesia by Kompolnas.
