inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Vice Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Otto Hasibuan stated that the main challenge in police reform is ensuring the sustainable implementation of the values of change in the organization.
While receiving an audience of the Student Executive Board of the Faculty of Law of Diponegoro University (BEM FH Undip) in Jakarta on Monday (8/10/2026), he explained that police reform is not only related to regulatory aspects and institutional structure, but also involves cultural change, which requires consistency and time.
"How can this culture be upheld and implemented consistently and continuously?" Otto asked.
Therefore, Otto stated that the government welcomes various input and views from students.
He acknowledged that cultural reform within the police force is a more complex process than structural change because it requires commitment and continuous implementation.
The Vice Coordinating Minister expressed his appreciation for the students' attention to legal issues and police institutional reform.
He considered student input an important part of the process of evaluating and refining public policy.
"It turns out serving the nation isn't easy. When I was a lawyer, I had the same voice as you. This is also what I conveyed to the Indonesian National Police reform team," he said.
Otto stated that he would continue to strive to ensure that the input provided would bring about change, and he hoped the police would implement it wisely and prudently.
As a follow-up, various inputs submitted by BEM FH Undip will be coordinated with relevant ministries and institutions.
This input will be considered in future discussions on police reform policies.
The audience discussed student studies related to reform of the Indonesian National Police, including discussions regarding Law Number 5 of 2026 concerning the Police.
