Traffic Police Strengthens Digitalisation, ETLE Mobile Handheld Implemented in South Kalimantan
The Traffic Corps of the Indonesian National Police (Korlantas Polri) continues to push for the digital transformation of traffic law enforcement. The Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) Mobile Handheld system has now been officially implemented in the jurisdiction of the South Kalimantan (Kalsel) Regional Police.
This policy is in line with the direction of the Head of the Traffic Corps of the Indonesian National Police, Inspector General Agus Suryo Nugroho. Inspector General Agus emphasised the importance of accelerating the digitalisation of enforcement as part of the Polri Presisi (Precision) transformation.
The implementation is under the control of the Director of Law Enforcement (Dirgakkum) of the Traffic Corps of the Indonesian National Police, Brigadier General Faizal. He consistently oversees the national implementation of ETLE to ensure that it runs in a standardised, integrated, and accountable manner throughout the ranks.
The handover of the ETLE Mobile Handheld devices was carried out by the Deputy Director of Dakgar, Directorate of Law Enforcement, Traffic Corps of the Indonesian National Police, Commissioner Dwi Sumrahadi Rakhmanto, to the Director of Traffic of the South Kalimantan Regional Police, Commissioner Fahri Anggia Natua Siregar. This is a form of strengthening operational capabilities and a follow-up to the policy of electronic-based law enforcement in the region.
Commissioner Fahri Anggia is one of the Polri figures who is part of the first ETLE pioneer team in Indonesia.
The implementation of the ETLE Mobile Handheld is designed to expand the reach of traffic violation monitoring in a mobile, flexible, and precise manner. With a digital-based system, officers can record violations in real-time without directly stopping vehicles, making the enforcement process more effective, professional, and minimising the potential for irregularities.
The devices will be optimised on arterial roads, urban areas, and areas prone to traffic violations and accidents in South Kalimantan, including the city of Banjarmasin and its surroundings. This technological enhancement is expected to address the dynamics of increasingly mobile communities while improving road user compliance.
All data captured by the ETLE Mobile Handheld is integrated with the National ETLE system and goes through a verification process by validator officers before a confirmation letter is issued to the vehicle owner according to the registration data. This mechanism ensures that law enforcement runs in a standardised, transparent, and accountable manner.
Through this implementation, the Traffic Corps of the Indonesian National Police reaffirms its commitment to providing precise and integral traffic law enforcement to support the realisation of Security, Safety, Order, and Smoothness of Traffic (Kamseltibcarlantas) in a sustainable manner in the South Kalimantan region.
