Police System in Indonesia

When large parts of Indonesia was underDutch colonial occupation until the 1940s,

police duties were performed by either military establishments or colonial police known

as the veldpolitieor the field police.[citation needed]Japanese occupation duringWW

II brought changes when the Japanese formed various armed organizations to support

their war. This had led to the distribution of weapons to military trained youths, which

were largely confiscated from the Dutch armory.

After the Japanese occupation, the national police became an armed organization.[citation

needed]The Indonesian police was established in 1946, and its units fought in

theIndonesian National Revolution against the invading Dutch forces. The police also

participated in suppressing the 1948 communist revolt inMadiun.In 1966, the police

was brought under the control of Armed Forces Chief. Following theproclamation of

independence,the police played a vital role when they actively supported the peoples

movement to dismantle the Japanese army, and to strengthen the defense of the newly

created Republic of Indonesia. The police were not combatants who were required to

surrender their weapons to theAllied Forces.Duringthe revolution of independence,

the police gradually formed into what is now known as Kepolisian Negara Republik

Indonesia(Polri) or theIndonesian National Police.In 2000, the police force officially

regained its independence and now is separate from the military.

Polri is a centralised national bureaucracy.[4]

As a national agency it has a large central

headquarters in Jakarta (Markas Besar Polri or Mabes Polri). The regional police

organisation parallels exactly the hierarchy of the Indonesian civic administration, with

provincial police commands (Polisi Daerah or Polda) to cover provinces, district

commands (Polisi Resor or Polres) for districts, sub-district commands (Polsek) and

community police officers or Polmas to service individual villages.[5]

There is a similar law enforcement force in Indonesia that shares similar duties for the

country with the Indonesian National Police, the law enforcement is known asCivil

Service Police Unit or known in the Indonesian Language as Satpol PP

There are confusing terminological differences between some police commands. This

derives from certain normative features of Indonesian governance. Indonesian political

culture elevates the capital district (ibukota propinsi) of a province from other districts in

the same province, though all have the same functional powers. Similarly, the capital

province of the country (Jakarta), enjoys special normative status over other provinces

though in practice all have the same governmental responsibilities. The Indonesian

police structure continues this by creating a special command for the province of

Jakarta (Polda Metro Jaya), and special commands for capital city districts and cities

(Polisi Kota Besar or Poltabes). Nevertheless, all of Indonesias police district

commands (whether they are a Polres or Poltabes) and all the provincial commands

(whether it is the flagship Polda Metro Jaya or one of the other Poldas) have the same

powers and duties.[6]

Ranks

In the early years, the Polri used European police style ranks

likeinspector andcommissioner.When the police were amalgamated with the military

structure during the 1960s, the ranks changed to a military style such as Captain, Major

and Colonel. In the year 2000, when the Polri conducted the transition to a fully

independent force out of the armed forces 2000, they use British style police ranks like

Inspector andSuperintendent.The Polri have returned to Dutch style ranks just like in

the early years.

Police System in East Timor

The PNTL was established in May 2002 by theUnited Nations,before sovereignty was

passed to the new state, with a mandate to provide security and maintain law and

order throughout the country, and to enable the rapid development of a credible,

professional and impartial police service. Recruitment drives were conducted in early

2000, and basic training commenced on March 27, 2000, under the auspices of

theUnited Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). On August 10,

2001, the East Timor Police Service was officially established, working alongside

CivPol, the United Nations Civilian Police Force. It later changed its name to the Timor-

Leste Police Service, before finally adopting its current title of the Policia Nacional de

Timor-Leste.

It was not until independence, on May 20, 2002, that an agreement was signed outlining

the terms and timetable for handing over of full policing duties from CivPol to the PNTL.

The PNTL finally assumed responsibility for the whole country on December 10, 2003.

There are at least three special units within the PNTL: the Police Reserve Unit, formerly

the Rapid Deployment Service; the Border Patrol Unit (Unidade de Patrulhamento de

Fronteiras, UPF); and the Rapid Intervention Unit, or UIR, modelled after

thePortuguese National Republican Guardriot police,which served in East Timor

before its independence

Police System in Philippines

The Philippine National Police(Filipino:Pambansang Pulisya ng Pilipinasand

abbreviated as PNP) is theciviliannational police force of thePhilippines.

The PNP was formed on January 29, 1991 when thePhilippine Constabulary and

theIntegrated National Police were merged pursuant toRepublic Act 6975,or the

Department of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990.[1]It is part of

theDepartment of the Interior and Local Government.Its national headquarters is

atCamp Crame inQuezon City,Metro Manila,and it has 140,000 personnel.

It is administered and controlled by theNational Police Commission.

Passed on December 13, 1990, the Republic Act No. 6975, the Department of the

Interior and Local Government Act of 1990, ended the existence of thePhilippine

Constabulary and theIntegrated National Police and gave way to the creation of the

Philippine National Police. R.A. 6975 was further amended by RA 8551, the Philippine

National Police Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998, and by RA 9708. The R.A.

8551 envisioned the PNP to be a community and service oriented Agency.

Recruitment and training

Two members of the PNP rappel down a tower during a joint U.S.-AFP-PNP Subject

Matter Expert Exchange (SMEE).

The PNP conducts regular recruitment programs, depending on the annual budget. The

entry level for non-commissioned officers is the rank of Police Officer 1 or PO1. The

new recruits will undergo Public Safety Basic Recruit Course for six months, and a Field

Training Program for another six months. Prior for their actual duty, they are required to

undergo the mandatory special training of PNP SCOUT or PNP Special Counter-

insurgency Unit Training course for 45 days to 5 months to enhance them in
