Kompolnas Criticizes Cinangka Police for Rejecting Report on Shooting Incident: Police Urged to Follow Instincts
Kompolnas, the National Police Commission, expressed disappointment over the rejection of a report by the Cinangka Police regarding the shooting incident involving Ilyas Abdurahman, the boss of a car rental company, at the rest area of KM 45 on the Tangerang-Merak Toll Road.
Arif Wicaksono Sudiutomo, the Secretary General of Kompolnas, stated on Sunday (5/1/2025) that the Cinangka Police should not have dismissed the report outright. According to Arif, the police should have been more proactive in gathering initial data from the victim’s report.
Understanding the Importance of Police Response
In a society where trust in law enforcement is crucial, it is disheartening to see instances where police actions are questioned. The rejection of a report on a serious incident like a shooting not only raises concerns about the handling of the case but also impacts the victim’s perception of justice and safety.
Arif Wicaksono Sudiutomo’s statement sheds light on the need for a more responsive and empathetic approach from the police towards victims of crimes. By dismissing reports without thorough investigation, the police risk undermining their credibility and failing to provide the necessary support to those in need.
Calls for Improved Police Procedures
The incident involving the shooting of Ilyas Abdurahman highlights the importance of proper police procedures in handling criminal cases. Instead of turning away victims seeking help, the police should strive to gather all relevant information and evidence to ensure a fair and just resolution.
Moving forward, it is essential for law enforcement agencies to reevaluate their protocols and training to better serve the community and uphold the principles of justice and accountability.
Taking Action for a Safer Society
As members of society, we must hold our institutions accountable for their actions and demand transparency and fairness in all aspects of law enforcement. By advocating for improved police response and procedures, we can contribute to creating a safer and more just society for all. Let us remember that every individual’s safety and well-being matter, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that justice is served.
