Indonesia police misconduct crackdown

Entities: Indonesian National Police (Polri) · Tangerang Selatan Police · Irjen Pol. Johnny Eddizon Isir · AKP Pardiman

Overview

In early July 2026, Indonesian authorities arrested a former police officer in Lubuklinggau after a viral video showed him extorting a truck driver and testing positive for methamphetamine. The Joint Crime Investigation Team seized his uniform, motorcycle and other equipment, signalling an immediate response to the misuse of police authority.

By late July, the National Police announced a broader policy shift, stating that no officers would receive special treatment in ongoing drug‑trafficking investigations. Officials outlined separate criminal and ethical proceedings for the suspects, and pledged stricter inspection standards to protect the force’s reputation. The two events illustrate a mounting governmental effort to confront police misconduct across different offenses and to enforce greater accountability within the Indonesian police force.
