PROACTIVE INTELLIGENCELED POLICING : Learning from Indonesia

PROACTIVE INTELLIGENCE-LED POLICING
Learning from Indonesia

• ADRIANUS MELIALA
• University of Indonesia

2
The approach constitutes the beginning of the
most significant redefinition of police work in
the past half century...(Willson Kelling,
1989 p. 48)
3
We should not be fighting the crime of the
twenty-first century with the tools of the
nineteenth.(Jack Straw, Home Secretary, United
Kingdom, 1997)

The truth about proactive policing1

• Traditional reactive models of policing have
  been outdated. Alternatives, either good or
  relatively good, are then required.

5
The truth about proactive policing2

• The idea of new-managerialism and good
  governance. Policing is basically similar to
  any other public-related activities taken by
  public institutions.

6
The truth about proactive policing3

• Increasing role of technology in policing and
  awareness toward the benefits given by
  information system.

First story

• Riots occurred since 1997,
• Armed bank robbery increased since 1999,
• Bomb exploded since 2000.
• People criticized the role of Intelligence.

8
Second story

• A member of the public reported the police about
  somebody who have allegedly committed fraud. The
  responding officer seemed confused to where he
  should pass the report, whether to the
  intelligence office or to the detective office.
  Surprisingly, both offices claimed as the
  right party to process it.

9
Third Story

• The Directorate of Intelligence regularly issued
  reports on security profile followed by its
  analysis. When comparing two reports (the first
  made during Soehartos era and the second made
  just recently), what regarded as threat, enemy
  or source of instability are similar

Before intelligence community has been healed
from its organizational problems, it is no point
saying intelligence-led policing

• What problems?

11
Problem on strict division of assignments
Strategic Level
Tactical Level
Criminogenic Factors
Police Hazard
Factual Threat
Detectives Role
Intelligences Role
12
Problem on policing style taken by the INP
Law Enforcement
Crime Prevention and Public Order
Preemptive Efforts in Maintaining Peace and
Security
Beat Paramilitary
CID
Intelligence CPO

Problem on the job overlapbetween Intelligence
and CID
INTELLIGENCE
INFORMATION
CID
14
Problem of the past times
State and Government
MILITARY
INTELLIGENCE
POLICE
THE PUBLIC
15
Problem of control

• So far, theres a few intelligence -related
  legal infrastructure.
• Having no public access to control how
  intelligence people work

16
Problem of militaristic habit

• Being used to practice the principles of combat
  intelligence, including all dirty and gross
  practices
• Strong role identification with espionage and
  undercover activities

17
Problem of internal culture

• The fearful image is still managed on purposely
• No accountability when producing a wrong forecast
  or analysis
• Be implicated with wet and dry terrain in
  relation to the possibility of accepting extra
  money

18
Recent development after the exclusion of the INP
from military

• Restructuring intelligence directorate at Police
  HQ by improving its operational capability
• Consistently deploying resources in some conflict
  areas or highlighted crimes

19
Its not enough since1

• The activity approach is still there. Any
  elements within the INP would get yearly
  allocation based on activity as defined in
  traditional sense

20
Its not enough since2

• Theres no management decision and support to let
  intelligence playing significant role. The
  detective community is still regarded the core
  business of the INP

21
Its not enough since3

• Intelligence community still uses its outdated
  approach and working method. Enhancing capacity
  is compulsory.
