Legislative Shift: RUU Polri Targeted for Completion This Year Amid Retirement Age Debate
As the DPR RI moves forward with the revision of the Police Law (RUU Polri), the momentum for structural reform has reached a fever pitch. Minister of Law and Human Rights Supratman Andi Agtas recently expressed optimism that the bill can be finalized before the end of 2026. A newly formed Panja (Working Committee) in Komisi III is currently debating a significant extension of the mandatory retirement age for Polri membersâshifting the cap from 58 to 60, and potentially higher for those with essential specialized skills.
Beyond personnel management, the revision serves as a response to Constitutional Court rulings regarding active police officers in civilian roles and the need for a modern democratic framework. While Kompolnas and legal experts advocate for the bill to strengthen institutional integrity, the speed of the process is being emphasized as a "necessity for legal certainty" rather than just an administrative hurdle.
Crackdown on Environmental Crimes: Chinese Nationals Arrested in Papua as Illegal Gold Intercepted in Jambi
Authorities are intensifying their war on the illegal exploitation of natural resources across the archipelago. In a major cross-agency operation, Bareskrim Polri and the Ministry of Forestry apprehended four Chinese nationalsâidentified as LH, LL, FW, and PJâfor operating an illegal mine deep within the forests of Papua. The suspects reportedly smuggled heavy machinery into the remote region without government permits. Despite their initial refusal to sign arrest warrants, the group is now being held at the Biak Immigration Office as investigators look to dismantle the wider syndicate.
Simultaneously, the Bungo Police (Polres Bungo) in Jambi successfully thwarted the distribution of 2.3 kilograms of illegal gold. During a routine patrol on the Sumatran Crossroad, officers intercepted a modified vehicle containing eight bars of gold suspected to be products of Penambangan Emas Tanpa Izin (PETI). AKBP Zamri Elfino confirmed three arrests, highlighting the environmental and financial toll these illicit networks take on the nation.
