Tribratanews.polri.go.id - East Java. Chairman of the Coordinating Board of the East Java Indonesian Islamic Student Movement (PKC-PMII) Branch, Baijuri welcomed the increased public trust in the Police. The increase in public trust in the Police was assessed because of the firmness and innovation of the Chief of the Indonesian National Police (INP), Police General Listyo Sigit Prabowo in leading the Bhayangkara Corps.

"Highest respect and respect for General Listyo Sigit Prabowo who has passed every tough test, which has changed several times starting from the polemic over the murder of Brigadier Joshua, the Kanjuruhan Stadium tragedy, the drug case involving Inspector General Teddy Minahasa and so on. It was feared that some of these polemics would weaken the strength of the Indonesian National Police and public trust. However, over time by applying the principle of precision, following the rules of law, people's trust has increased again," he said, Monday (1/5/23).

He said General Sigit's decisiveness and innovation were the main points of gaining public sympathy. In addition, it was influenced by the increasing openness of the INP in receiving public input and criticism on various lines of social media.

Another factor is the performance of police officers in maintaining the smooth flow of going home and back for Eid 2023 which is one of the efforts to restore the good image of the INP. Therefore, he also expressed his highest appreciation for the performance of the Bhayangkara Corps.

"Yes, at this time there is a tendency for the INP to be open to input and views from the digital Indonesian community or we know as netizens. Every legal event that is busy in the public and becomes a hot topic of conversation will be responded to quickly by the police and often the results will be satisfactory, such as the law enforcement case against the son of a high-ranking tax official who committed abuse. Quick handling of complaints of points prone to robbery and others. That's a positive note," he explained.
