he Police Reform Commission has finalized its recommendations to overhaul the National Police, with a report expected to be submitted to President Prabowo Subianto before Idul Fitri later this month.
Speaking to reporters at the Presidential Palace on Thursday, the commission’s chairman Jimly Asshiddiqie said the panel is awaiting a scheduled meeting with the presidential office, noting President Prabowo Subianto’s packed agenda amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
