"Thank God, the results are very giving energy and enthusiasm to continue to change for the better because there is an increase in trust in the Police," said Sigit in his written statement.
This good achievement, said Sigit, is based on the results of a survey conducted by several credible national survey institutions in 2021. In the Alvara Strategies Indonesia survey agency, the level of confidence in the Police is 86.5 percent, an increase from the previous year (a survey from Litbang Kompas by 70.8 percent). Meanwhile, the level of satisfaction with the National Police was 82.3 percent, an increase from the previous year (a survey from Alvara Strategies Indonesia was 78.8 percent).
In the Indonesian Chartapolitika institution, the National Police is ranked third as the highest performing state high institution (in 2018 to 2019 the National Police was ranked fourth).
Then ranked first as the best performing law enforcement agency (an increase from the previous year, which was ranked third). According to the Cyrus Network, the National Police is ranked first as a law enforcement agency trusted by the public, getting a score of 86.2 percent, an increase from the previous year (a survey from R&D Kompas by 70.8 percent).
In the National Police Research and Development, there is an increase in the Public Trust Index (IKM) towards the National Police in 2021 to 83.14 percent which is the highest IKM since 2015. "The increase in satisfaction with the performance and trust in the Police is the hard work of all members of the Police. We must be grateful together and encourage the Police to be better in providing services to the community," said Sigit.
The former Police Chief of Criminal Investigation Unit emphasized that the achievements of the National Police so far are not the final goal, but the initial foundation in the sustainability of the Transformation Towards a Precision Police program. "In the future, we will continue to be consistent and improve performance achievements in order to be able to change the portrait of the Police in accordance with the expectations of the community, namely to become a Police that is close to the community, as well as to respond to the development of an increasingly fast and uncertain strategic environment," he said.
To realize these expectations, continued Sigit, the National Police must be able to increase the motivation and performance of all its personnel. One of the efforts that have been made is to fulfill the welfare of Polri personnel by giving great attention to the housing program.
Some time ago, the National Police had launched the 100,000 housing program for civil servants at the National Police. A total of 34,491 units consisting of 17,400 apartment units and 17,091 landed housing units have been built and are planned to be completed in 2024.
"We will continue this program until all members of the National Police can have a decent house. We hope that the Police personnel on duty in the field will no longer think about their families because of the inadequate housing conditions," he said.
Next is the health program, where the hope is that Polri personnel get good quality health services. The Police also continue to strive to improve the quality of service to the community. The National Police adapt, innovate, and change the work culture from being served to a culture of serving so as to realize humanist services. This is done by launching 16 Information Technology-based services in various police services.
In maintaining public security and order, members of the Indonesian National Police who are spread throughout Indonesia continue to strive to be problem solvers for every community problem. This is realized through the Polsek program as a basis for resolution and the realization of Bhabinkamtibmas as an information center and problem solver.
"There are 1,063 Polsek (in 343 Polres and 33 Polda) who no longer carry out investigations, but focus on handling Harkamtibmas. The presence of a Polri figure in the midst of society is expected to solve community problems, there is no need to use weapons or use force," he said.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the former Banten Police Chief also emphasized that the National Police had not forgotten their main task of maintaining stability and domestic security.
Throughout 2021, the National Police succeeded in thwarting the illicit circulation of 9.7 tons of drugs and saving 39.24 million of the nation's next generation from the dangers of drugs. "There is no tolerance and there should be no room for drug dealers in this country, including members of the National Police who are involved in it, I remind you that there is only one choice to fire and punish," he concluded.
Regarding the crime of terrorism, the Police have succeeded in dealing with terrorism as shown in the case of a suicide bombing in front of the Makassar Cathedral Church, South Sulawesi on Sunday, March 28, 2021 at 10.25 WITA. After the incident, the National Police responded quickly by enforcing the law against 108 suspects in 8 provinces (South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, DKI Jakarta, West Java, NTB, East Java, Central Java, and DIY).
"During the period from January to May 2021, the number of criminal acts of terrorism that took place in Indonesia was 6 incidents with 217 suspects, 209 suspects in the investigation process and 8 suspects taking measured decisive action (6 deaths and 2 suicide bombings)," he said.
Furthermore, Sigit also explained that the application of Restorative Justice is prioritized in case settlement to create fair law enforcement. The increase in case settlement with Restorative Justice is 64 percent more than the previous year.
This was also followed by accelerating the completion of the handling of various cases that became public attention, including extortion fees that were troubling the public in North Jakarta, BPJS data leaks, and the online loan case of PT. Southeast Century Asia.
"The professionalism of Polri investigators must be maintained and maintained with a firm but still humanistic appearance and respect for the values of Pancasila and Human Rights," he said.
Sigit is fully aware that this success will not be achieved without the support of the President of the Republic of Indonesia and the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, the leaders of State Higher Institutions, the TNI, the leaders of Ministries/Institutions, all members of the MPR/DPR/DPD RI, business partners, and whole society. "Therefore, as the Chief of the Indonesian National Police, I would like to express my highest gratitude to all elements of the nation who have helped the National Police to reach this point," he explained.
As a formidable Bhayangkara, the National Police, said Sigit, must also make their best efforts by mobilizing all available resources in order to help
handling the Covid-19 Pandemic through the discipline of the 5M health protocol, strengthening 3T efforts, guarding and blocking, justification operations and assisting in accelerating the National vaccination program through precision vaccination outlets and mass vaccination. "Tomorrow we will
