‘The project aims to contribute to efforts of the Indonesian National Police to
develop into a professional, accountable and effective law enforcement
organization and improve police-community relations. Specific objectives are
to (i) Strengthen the capacity of INP Education and Training Institutions, and
(ii) Support human rights-based community policing implementation in
selected target areas (Tanah Papua and Maluku)’

Development of specialised training modules on
human rights and community policing. These
modules taught police officers a number of
community engagement techniques, utilising
techniques suitable to adult learning environments,
including practical examples. Participants noted they
had gained tools to communicate effectively with
communities and had a deeper understanding of
community policing values.

Contextualised national training modules developed
on cultural competency for Papua and Maluku. Police
officers now mainstream knowledge on local
customary law and essential information on
acceptable modes of communication in areas of
deployment for provincial trainings. Additional
chapters include information on environment,
HIV/AIDS, gender and indigenous law.

95 INP trainers trained on delivery of community
policing and human rights training modules. Trainers
developed skills on how to facilitate classes in adult
learning environments involving best practice
educational principles. Through subsequent cascade
trainings over 5,500 Police officers received human
rights, community policing and local cultural context
training in Papua, West Papua and Maluku provinces.

Major Achievement: Training modules that the project
assisted in developing were instituted into the INP
National Curriculum. All new INP recruits to receive
training on community policing and human rights
nationally.

Major Achievement: Community Policing Regulation
Number 3 2015 established. This regulation combined
previous community policing regulations ensuring a
uniform understanding of expectations within the INP.
This was an essential step in the reform of the police
force as central regulations set precedence for
initiatives of the wider police force.

Community Policing Forums (CPFs) established at
three Provincial administrations, Papua, West
Papua and Maluku. These forums bring together
NGOs, government, community groups and police
to discuss common social and security issues.

Community
engagement
activities
begin

CPFs gradually established in 12 districts, 12 sub-districts and 24 villages. Forums
provide a mechanism for police and community to have open communication
and discuss preventative policing. CPFs expose the community and police to each
other so that relationships can be built in a constructive way. Community profiles
and village action plans are created with the input of all stakeholders. Current
and potential future cases are discussed so police and community can share their
perspectives and solutions. Problems are increasingly solved collaboratively
utilizing local traditional dispute resolution mechanisms and wisdom.

Faith based and customary
leaders engaged. Preaching
booklets developed and
distributed in Maluku.
Development still in progress
in Papua and West Papua.

Community and police begin to
report improvement in
communication and
relationship. Perception of the
community towards police
changing however it is too early
to tell if trust has been built.

Sustainability of CPFs are not guaranteed due to the
limited implementation period. Additional time is
required to report on the increase in levels of trust,
ensure they can be continued once the funding is
withdrawn, and include a wider representation of
society.

Community policing forums utilizing
the same model are established in
non-project targeted areas
demonstrating the community and
police’s desire to entrench
communication and partnership.
Several local governments have
budgeted funds to support CPFs,
further evidencing the communities
will to continue CPFs as an essential
strategy to maintain peace and
security

Ongoing work in regards to recording results of the
program is essential. Through the CPFs, community and
police have collaborated to secure funding from
government and potential other private sector sources.
Time is required for this advocacy work and the results to
become more apparent, as requested by all stakeholders.
