“The recommendations cover institutional and managerial aspects. We assessed how the organization is structured and managed, and believe the proposals are comprehensive,” KPRP Commissioner Ahmad Dofiri said at the presidential palace.
He said institutional reforms include reviewing the police’s status, legal framework, facilities and equipment.
Managerial reforms will address governance, operations, leadership systems, and oversight, with budget and logistics management also highlighted.
The report calls for sweeping changes in human resources, covering recruitment, education, assignments and promotions.
It also proposes improving law enforcement and public services, often viewed negatively.
“We will ensure no backlogs and no illegal fees in police services,” Dofiri said.
On leadership, the current system will remain, under which the police chief is appointed by the president with parliamentary approval.
While internal oversight bodies exist, KPRP recommends strengthening the National Police Committee (Kompolnas) as an external monitor.
Kompolnas would have nine public commissioners without ex officio members and be empowered to issue binding recommendations.
Dofiri also stressed the need for digital transformation to improve public reporting and police responses.
“The reform will be supported by digital transformation through a single police data system and a super-app,” he said.
