PROBLEMS FACING EXTERNAL SUPPORT TO POLICE REFORM

• Sometimes having to negotiate with internal situation• Low internal compliance and lack of resources toward implementation• Pragmaticism as police culture, no permanent agenda


Projects Which Are Close to the INP Bureaucracy Reform

• Management of Human Resource of the Police• Psychological Battery Test for Police (PGRI)

Recruitment (PGRI)• The Police Financial Management (PGRI)• The Synergy of Curriculum to Educate Perwira &

Bintara (PGRI)• The Role & Function of Female Officer (PGRI)• The Institutional Transformational Project (ICITAP)


Other Stakeholders

• University – Universitas Islam Indonesia– Universitas Diponegoro– Universitas Hasanuddin

• NGO– ICW - Derap Warapsari– ProPatria - Indonesia Police Watch


Other Dimensions Considered

• The Police actually has capacity to research themselves. • Number of personnel having doctorate degree and master degree are the highest among other CJS institutions. • There are many policy documents produced as well as internal change accomplished without external support


Why the Police still invites UoI?

• Because UoI knows more than the police on police problems?

• Because the police wants to have more objective and independent picture on the police?

• Because of “the singer, not the song” phenomenon?


UoI’s Role : Advises

• Keep as researcher (when investigating something) and/or as consultant (when commenting upon something)

• Focus upon performance evaluation against several factors (facility prepared, budget allocated, authority endorsed, human resources managed etc.)

• Upholding democratic policing (ie. enhancing internal/external oversight mechanism)
