TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Since late 2025, members of the working group, or pokja, of the Commission for the Acceleration of Police Reform have traveled across several regions of Indonesia. They gathered complaints from local police offices and community groups. The stories varied. Some officers complained about tight patrol budgets. Others spoke of questionable promotions and illegal levies.
The reform commission later brought the working group's findings, compiled over months, to a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto at the State Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. The results took the form of 10 books. "Eight books contain verbatim accounts of public voices and police plans. The other two are summaries," commission member Mohammad Mahfud Mahmodin said after meeting with Prabowo.
Another commission member, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, said the books totaled roughly 3,000 pages. From those materials, the commission compiled a 135-page report, which was then condensed into an executive summary of about 20 pages. All documents were completed in March 2026.
Even after the documents reached the president, members of the working group remained anxious about whether the recommendations would actually be implemented. Working group chair Laode Muhammad Syarif said he did not want the commission's work to suffer the same fate as legal reform recommendations under the previous administration. "Back in the era of Joko Widodo, there were already recommendations for police reform from the legal reform team, but nothing happened," said the former Deputy Chair of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for the 2015–2019 period on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.
