Strengthening Cooperation between TNI and Polri in Improving Law Enforcement Performance in Indonesia

Abstract

Police, in all their meanings, is a profession. It is said that because in order to become - or to be referred to as - a police officer, a person is required to undergo training and education, have intellectual / theoretical expertise as well as technical, join an organization, and live with certain disciplines and a code of ethics as agreed and outlined by the police profession itself. What is also important is that a policeman is required to have a commitment to public service, as something that is agreed upon by all members of the profession on an ongoing basis. The research used in this research is through an empirical juridical approach. The empirical juridical method is used to study the applicable legal principles relating to the TNI-Polri. There are three levels as an effort to increase the professionalism of the Indonesian National Police, namely strategic, organizational and programmatic. The obstacles faced are the negative public perception of the National Police, the lack of budget and infrastructure to implement the strengthening cooperation program.
