inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Vice Chairman of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Ahmad Sahroni, stated that the initiative of Indonesian National Police (INP) Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto, who launched the Police Care for Unemployment (Poliran) program and conducted a security guard competency test at the Struggle Monument in Bandung, has contributed to addressing the unemployment problem.

Furthermore, the Poliran program is also related to efforts to maintain public order and security.

"We appreciate and support the Police Chief's Police Care for Unemployment (Poliran) program. As we know, crime usually occurs because someone is in financial trouble, unemployed, and so they resort to illegal activities to earn money," Sahroni said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday (11/13/2026).

Chief Suyudi stated that this measure was taken as an effort to address the unemployment rate in Indonesia, especially in West Java, where the rate is above the national average.

"With this program, it is hoped that more people will have jobs, thereby reducing economic pressure and reducing crime rates. We will also request regular updates from the Police Chief regarding the progress of this Poliran program to ensure it truly provides tangible benefits to the community," he said.

Sahroni hopes the Poliran program will not remain a ceremonial activity, but will be truly sustainable and reach people in need in various regions.

"I also hope this program can be expanded to other regions, because unemployment is not unique to West Java. The more people who have employment opportunities, the stronger our social and security foundations will be," Sahroni added.
