Police Chief Reveals Mistakes Leading to Rental Boss Fatally Shot
In a shocking turn of events, two members of the Cinangka Police Station, Brigadier Deri Andriani, and Bripka Dedi, failed to take the necessary actions regarding a request for assistance from a car rental boss.
Kapolda Banten, Irjen Pol Suyudi Ario Seto, disclosed the results of the internal investigation related to the Cinangka Police Station members who declined to accompany in pursuing the suspects involved in the car rental theft.
As a result of their refusal, the rental boss, Ilyas Abdurrahman, was fatally shot by the suspect, allegedly involving a member of the Indonesian Navy. This incident has left the community in shock and raised concerns about the professionalism and responsibility of law enforcement officers.
### Lack of Proper Assistance
Following the tragic incident, the members of the Cinangka Police Station were immediately investigated by the internal affairs division of the Banten Police Department. The examination revealed that Brigadier Deri Andriani and Bripka Dedi did not act as they should have when receiving the report.
According to Kapolda Banten, as police officers, they were expected to provide the necessary support and assistance, which they failed to do. This failure has led to serious consequences, highlighting the importance of accountability and adherence to protocols within the police force.
### Missed Opportunities for Support
Prior to the shooting incident at the rest area, the victim’s son, Agam, reported that his father’s rental car had been stolen by a customer, raising suspicions of vehicle theft. Agam and his rental community members visited the Cinangka Police Station seeking help, only to be turned away with a suggestion to provide additional official documents that were already submitted.
This oversight and lack of proper guidance from the police officers on duty have underscored the need for improved communication and collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the public they serve.
### Accountability and Consequences
In response to the unprofessional conduct of Brigadier Deri Andriani and another officer on duty, the internal affairs division identified violations of professional standards and recommended disciplinary actions. Kapolda Banten emphasized the importance of holding accountable not only the officers involved but also the leadership responsible for overseeing their actions.
This unfortunate incident serves as a stark reminder of the critical role law enforcement plays in ensuring public safety and upholding the principles of justice and integrity. Moving forward, it is imperative for all officers to fulfill their duties with diligence and dedication to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
